Tossed, the healthy eating restaurant chain, has received £1.5m of development funding from international venture capital company Beringea.

Beringea's investment will support Tossed's plans for growth. Based in the Greater London area, Tossed currently has seven sites – including the brand new store at 47 Mortimer Street, which opened last week.

Other stores are found on Tottenham Court Road, St Martin's Lane and at Westfield London. The concept has proved extremely popular with a broad range of customers and the company looks forward to increasing the number of stores across the city.
Investment director Karen McCormick led the deal for Beringea and will be joining the 

Tossed board as a non-executive director. She said: "We are delighted to be investing in Tossed. The company has been experiencing rapid profitable growth – a testament to the business acumen and enthusiasm of its founder and the commitment of its management team. 

Tossed's offering has really captured a gap in the marketplace. Not only is the UK becomingan increasingly health conscious nation - but we are also increasingly demanding higher quality, better tasting, ethically sourced food. We believe Tossed has been able to capitalise on this and we look forward to working with Vincent and his team on the next stage of Tossed's development." 

Tossed was founded in 2005 by Vincent Mckevitt – self proclaimed 'Salad Man and Top Tosser'. He added: "We are very excited about the next stage of the Tossed journey. From an idea set up fresh out of University to help Londoners be that little bit healthier, the funding from Beringea will now enable us to continue to develop the Tossed brand and to establish ourselves as the top healthy eating destination in the Capital."
