We’re thrilled to share some amazing news – Kevin Mackay, Co-Founder of Rethink Food, has been named one of Yorkshire Business Insider’s 42 Under 42 for 2025!
This prestigious list celebrates the region’s most inspiring young business leaders, highlighting individuals with exceptional entrepreneurial drive, innovation, and a clear vision for the future. Kevin’s inclusion is a powerful recognition of his commitment to social impact, sustainability, and creating healthier futures for children across the UK.
“It’s an honour to be included alongside so many inspiring entrepreneurs,” said Kevin. “This recognition isn’t just about me, it’s a reflection of the entire team at Rethink Food and the powerful work we’re doing together. We’ve always believed in the potential of food to transform lives, and this gives us even more momentum to push that mission forward.”
From humble beginnings to leading a national social enterprise, Kevin has helped steer Rethink Food through a decade of impact – developing innovative education programmes, rescuing food, reducing waste, and addressing food insecurity head-on in schools and communities.
His place on the 42 Under 42 list is not only a well-deserved personal achievement, but a milestone moment for Rethink Food as we continue to grow, evolve, and deliver large-scale change.
This recognition shines a light on the importance of purpose-driven leadership, and we couldn’t be prouder to have Kevin leading the way.
