“Someone now eats a Warrior® protein bar every 3 seconds in the UK - and FW Capital’s support has helped us to make more than 48 million protein bars annually in-house, 4 million tubs of creatine, pre-workout and protein powder and shipping in excess of 3,000 orders a day.”

Kieran Fisher, Managing Director, KBF Enterprises

KBF Enterprises secured a £750,000 investment from NPIF – FW Capital Debt Finance, as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund to help the business enjoy significant growth.

The funding resulted in the recent announcement of a £1.75million state-of-the-art factory and acquisition of an additional 10,000 sq. ft warehouse, accelerating production output by 400%.

Located at Trafford Park, the business is behind one of the most recognised sports nutrition brands in the UK – Warrior®. Established in 2008 by managing director Kieran Fisher from his bedroom, KBF Enterprises is now on track to achieve sales of £40m this year and employs over 90 people. 

Its product range is stocked in leading UK retailers including Asda, Tesco and WHSmith, and sold in more than 20,000 locations around the world. Fisher was also announced as one of LDC’s Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders of 2023.

The first NPIF investment phase has now completed with the British Business Bank launching the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II in March 2024.
