  • Description: Don't let the fluffy panda hat, cute logo or general air of silliness that surrounds Chris Forbes fool you: the Cheeky Panda founder is seriously ambitious. Since launching in 2016, his ecofriendly bamboo paper brand has gained a legion of devoted followers, taking it to a projected turnover of £12m. First came the bamboo kitchen roll and facial tissues. Even more recently, the Cheeky Panda launched its bamboo straws, which are superior to paper ones as they don't go soggy, says Forbes. "Because bamboo fibres are slightly longer and rounder, it's actually a sturdier straw, so it increases your milkshake experience three-fold," he claims.
