2024 Wrapped: The fitness stats that matter 👀💪🍫
About us
The Grenade story is one of roll-your-sleeves-up hard work and a commitment to doing things better – in other words, the ‘Get Shit Done’ approach. Founded in 2010 by Alan and Juliet Barratt, their mission was simple – to create memorable, functional and great tasting products that exceed label claims and go beyond the seen-it-all-before sports nutrition stereotypes. It’s this commitment that’s seen Grenade appear in The Sunday Times’ Fast Track Top 100 for seven consecutive years since 2014. Today, Grenade’s Carb Killa is the UK’s best-selling protein bar, while the company continues to innovate with it’s leading range of drinks, shakes, and performance nutrition. Fuelling everyone from elite athletes and military personnel to life athletes looking for healthier choices that don’t compromise on taste, Grenade exports to more than 50 countries and is headquartered in Bournville, UK.

Tell me you’ve been on a shoot with the Wallabies, without telling me you’ve been on a shoot with the Wallabies. 🏉🍫 Always great catching up with the Rugby Australia team while they’re here for the Autumn Nations Series. It’s been a strong reign overall, but a tough match against Scotland last weekend. Still, fuelling up with Grenade bars has them ready to bounce back stronger. 💪

The end of an era, but the start of an exciting new chapter. 💪 A massive thank you to Al Barratt, one of the visionaries behind Grenade, for 15 explosive years of leadership, grit, and an unrivalled sense of humour. From turning an idea into a global powerhouse to inspiring a team of believers, Al has left a legacy like no other. While stepping down as CEO, he’s not going far—gearing up for new adventures with us as our Founder, Advisor, and Brand Ambassador. Here’s to more great times ahead!

On October 17th, I sent the hardest email I've ever written, taking me over two hours to press send, but after a nice break with some friends, I'm more excited and motivated than ever for the next chapter. Let the adventures begin 😉 Please keep the contents of this email strictly internal until told otherwise. Dear Team After much reflection, I have decided to step down from my role as CEO of Grenade, effective from today. Leading this incredible team has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and I am deeply grateful for the dedication, creativity, and passion each of you has shown. 15 years ago, Jules and I set out to create something special, initially as a hobby. We wanted a brand that consumers could trust, based on the very best products we could possibly make, and run the business our way and nobody else's. We wanted to keep existing customers happy, not keep looking for new ones, and always pride ourselves on 'doing the right thing.' Naively, we couldn't possibly have known it would be such a challenge, our hobby became an obsession, and failure was not an option. Although it took us two years to be able to afford our first hire, and despite the fact that if we were awake, we were working, it was immediately apparent to us that we couldn't do this on our own. We didn't need employees, we needed believers. As such, a huge thank you all for your unwavering support throughout this journey, especially 'The Originals', you know who you are! Together, we’ve built something truly special, and I am confident that the future of Grenade is brighter than ever. While I am stepping down as CEO, I am excited to continue my journey with the company in a new capacity as Founder, Advisor and Brand Ambassador. In this role, I will focus on promoting the values and vision that define our brand, both in the UK and internationally, while supporting the leadership team led by Tom and Phil as they take the company to new heights. I look forward to continuing to contribute to our mission, making world class NPD, and cheering all of you on in this next chapter. Most importantly I want to continue making serious products, for serious people, but without ever taking ourselves seriously. I'll be off my Grenade email until Nov 8th while I'm overseas. If you need to reach me urgently during this time, please message me via WhatsApp. Thank you once again for being such an incredible team, to work with you all has simply been the greatest honour of my life. Here’s to an exciting future! With gratitude, Big Al 🙂
