When a woman locates herself with her daughter to South Africa after a successful career opening gastropubs and Wagamamas in London; she is bound not to sit still for long. She is Amanda Maidman who found herself in Ballito looking for an idea for a business when her daughter suggested ice cream, Scoop was started. Like everything else Amanda has tackled in the restaurant business, she has jumped in boots and all and now Scoop is the place to go to and buy delicious homemade ice cream in Kwazulu-Natal, and she has gone from home kitchen to opening up a factory. Maidman believes in empowerment through work and she has a team consisting mostly of people who were formerly out of work. Amanda told Biznews that she has her eye on more than two Scoops. -  Linda van Tilburg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
