The story behind ZEST
After becoming single myself, I discovered first-hand how difficult meeting new people could feel.
I began helping to run singles events for another company and quickly realised how much I enjoyed creating relaxed, welcoming spaces where people felt comfortable and able to connect naturally.
Then in November 2022, life took an unexpected turn. I took over the events side of the business and ZEST was born.
Over time, it became my own version of that idea — shaped by experience, values and a belief that meeting people should feel easier, more welcoming and less pressured.
