Packaging & Digital Artworker - Runcorn, United Kingdom - Protein Works

    Default job background
    Description

    We are Protein WorksTM

    Rewind to 12th December 2012. Out of a freezing cold office (because we couldn't afford heating back then), our founders huddled round a couple of laptops. This was the moment. After a year of working round the clock and a lifetime of tempering the thirst to create a world class brand, we pressed LAUNCH. That was the moment Protein Works.TM website went live to the world.

    It's not an overly fancy story, we know. There're no garages worked out of, no office in the Bay Area to talk up. But fancy isn't in our DNA, innovation is. With the idea to rock the very foundations of a sports nutrition industry that had become stagnant, we set out to create a health and fitness brand that put pure quality & wow service before the lowest possible price. We knew we'd be the underdogs from the very beginning. But you know what? We love that.

    We Are Recruiting Now
