Amy Bell, Founder and CMO of The Meat Club, exemplifies resilience in Singapore’s cutthroat consumer market. In a compelling Business The Heart Way podcast episode, she recounts her shift from law to launching subscription meat deliveries and expanding the hit Australian frozen yoghurt brand, Yo-Chi, into Singapore.
A former lawyer and Australian expat, Bell relocated to Singapore four years ago with her family, initially backing her husband’s Guzman y Gomez expansion. Spotting a void for premium, accessible meats for families, she co-founded The Meat Club to offer restaurant-quality Australian cuts via convenient subscription boxes tailored for busy expats and locals. This pivot addressed real pain points like supply chain gaps and demand for familiar flavours in Asia.
In 2025, Bell then introduced Yo-Chi to Singapore: an Australian-born, self-serve frozen yoghurt chain boasting probiotic-rich, low-calorie options that created snaking queues at its Singapore debut. Building on her former experience at Cocowhip, Bell navigated regulations and scaled operations for Yo-Chi while also growing The Meat Club’s marinades and fresh packs. Her story highlights mastering logistics in a high-stakes market.
