Norwich, 13th July 2016

Norwich based Hench Nutrition have today become the first UK based manufacturer and distributor of sports nutrition products to feature on the Crowdcube platform. Hench Nutrition (www.henchnutrition.com) is an established online sports nutrition business, boasting an existing client base of over 30,000 customers and selling more than 500 innovative products including protein shakes, slimming aids and high protein snacks. The company manufactures its own product range in-house, using ingredients from audited suppliers at their impressive 5,000 square foot, pharmaceutical grade production facility in Norwich, Norfolk.

Founder and Managing Director, John Horwell explains why Hench is such a good investment opportunity:

“I launched Hench in 2011, working from my parent’s spare bedroom and funded everything in the beginning on a credit card. Since then, thanks to some hard work and innovative product ideas, we have achieved sales to date of over £2 million. We have developed a robust business model and now our plans are to continue to grow the business with more staff, new and exciting products and a wider marketing strategy. To do this, I made the decision to invite investors to come on board through Crowdcube.”

The UK sports nutrition market is currently worth £300 million in the UK with global projections taking the value to $37 billion worldwide by 2019. In a market with such a massive growth potential, Horwell believes that with his proven business model, now is a great time to seek investment.

“The decision to crowdfund now is to facilitate the growth of the company in line with the growth of the sports nutrition market. We have monitored and analysed the sector and believe, based on our strong growth projections and experience to date, Hench offers an exciting investment opportunity for anyone who would like to add a sports nutrition brand to their portfolio, or invest for the first time in products that they use and will continue to use in the future. With high net profit margins and the company already paying dividends, we really have already proven our scalability.”
