The new facility, dubbed P.Works Campus is a £10m vertically integrated HQ. Protein Works re-invested its £10m profits into the new art campus.
The campus will allow the company to consolidate its digital marketing, technology operations and food manufacturing capabilities into its one 100,000ft2 campus - allowing Protein Works to scale past £100m.
Protein Works, this year, saw a c.40% increase in year-on-year turnover, along with delivering record levels of profits. Since its launch in 2021, the company has gained over 2 million customers and sold over 300 million shakes globally.
Protein Works CEO Laura Keir said: “Our teams, our people, we’re all incredibly proud and excited about this announcement. It’s a milestone in our growth journey and quite literally puts Protein Works on the map as one of the UK’s most ambitious functional food brands. We see the move as a blueprint for expansion, as we future-proof the business’s physical capabilities for many years to come.”
The new P.Works Campus brings together five separate locations in the North West into one purpose-built site. Investing over £2 million in the latest powder blending technology and research labs, the brand has the platform to produce its products more efficiently than ever. The business’ investment into this new ESG-friendly operation also enables them to cut their food waste in half over the coming year.
David Bell, Head of Portfolio at YFM Equity Partners, the company backing Protein Works, said, “This is an exciting investment for a brand making huge strides in its industry. Protein Works’ team has taken the business from strength to strength in our five years with them, growing revenues close to £50m and doubling its EBITDA YoY. That type of performance has allowed the business to self-fund this move and secure its future in the exciting and growing market of functional foods.”
