Live From Moorgate: Entrepreneurs, COVID, and Food Fusion
November 7, 2025

Listen on

This week James and Luke were in Moorgate as panelists for 'The Gaze', organised by Middlesex University in collaboration with Small Business Research + Enterprise Centre and the HOMELandS Research Centre at the University of Westminster. They were there to discuss the often-hidden lives of immigrant food entrepreneurs in London. Through oral histories, memories and everyday business, the event explores how entrepreneurship becomes more than a means of survival. It is a way to build belonging, community, and city’s cultural and economic fabrics.


The event was chaired by Dr. Rui Su, Senior Lecturer in Tourism and Middlesex Universiy.


Panelists:

Abdul Komor, Street Trading Service Manager, London Borough of Waltham Forest.

Baron Deschauer, Market Manager, Tooting Market.

So Mang Ham, Founder of the SoJu
