A Liverpool-based business has been named one of the UK’s best places to work.
Protein Works were included in the Sunday Times’ prestigious Best Places to Work for its employee engagement, bold leadership, and standout workplace culture
The annual list celebrates companies across the UK that excel at creating exceptional workplace environments and is compiled using detailed employee feedback covering wellbeing, inclusion, leadership, and growth.
Based in Speke, Protein Works scored highly across all areas, with particularly high rankings against industry benchmarks for job satisfaction, empowerment and confidence in management.
The nutrition brand was included in the round-up within the medium-sized business category and joins other Liverpool-based businesses like jeweller Boodles and restaurant chain Mowgli Street Food.
Simon Finnie, Head of Talent at Protein Works, said: “We’ve worked hard to build a culture where people feel trusted, empowered, and part of something meaningful.
“From our production and dispatch teams to our head office and our NPD labs, there’s an energy and ambition that’s truly special – and it all starts with how we support and develop our people.”
Protein Works’ inclusion in the list comes after a year of continued growth. In 2024, the business reached a £50.7m turnover milestone, launched innovative new wellness ranges, including new greens drinks, collagen shakes and functional products like Lion’s Mane Limitless and Mushroom Coffee, all while expanding its presence across UK and European markets.
The opening of ‘PW Campus’, which sees the business move from multiple operating sites to one state-of-the-art facility in Speke, also marks a new chapter in the company’s journey, further investing in its people, product innovation, and long-term growth.
