Chilli Olly (born 1 December 1982 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire) is a British entrepreneur, well known within the professional chef industry and British chilli scene. Son of child actor and racing driver Christopher Reynalds, Olly moved towards a different path for his career.
Career
Olly trained as a chef late in his professional career, becoming officially qualified during 2010. A cheeky, hot-headed and confident, now experienced chef, chose to specialise in chillies (chili pepper), giving him the name and eventually the brand Chilli Olly. Appearing at food festivals and teaching hands-on experiences of sauce and food cooking around chillies led him to a very natural place of co-founding and forming a sauce development and manufacturing company Sauce Shed Limited in early 2020. During an online interview with Chilli Magazine[1], Olly stated his love for chillies and the fact they are so versatile, as well as mentioning that Tom Walker Singer loves a flavour from the Nutty Professor Peanut Butter Brand, which Olly was responsible for creating and founding.
Olly launched a hot sauce called Vanta in 2019 under the Chilli Olly brand which was a black hot sauce with activated charcoal giving a well-received flavour and unusual sauce colour.
He married in 2008 in a village outside Hitchin in Hertfordshire, and separated late 2010, with a final divorce a few years later.
Entrepreneur
In 2020 Olly formed and co-founded Sauce Shed Limited which develops small batch and artisan sauces as a leading private label sauce manufacturer. He also sits as a director, shareholder or business advisor for over eighteen (18) companies all within or connected to the food and drink industry.
