She decided to follow her passion for health and fitness and join her business partner Alan, to work in a sports nutrition distribution business. Juliet and Alan worked tirelessly importing and distributing a range of sports nutrition supplements on behalf of other people, until being inspired to create their own Sports Nutrition Brand. This was always the plan as from 2006, Grenade® had been trademarked and the following years were spent working on packaging, positioning, tooling before launching Grenade® into the UK in February 2010. Grenade® was intended to be a hobby after selling the distribution business but soon turned into an obsession. Selling in over 80 countries in all major supermarkets and online, Juliet has vast experience in global marketing as well as scaling growth. Juliet also has experience of working for Equity backed companies having had investment into Grenade® from GrovePoint Capital in 2014 and Lion Capital in 2017. Grenade® sold to Mondelez in early 2021 for £200 million. Juliet fully exited the business at this point. Juliet still prioritises education and spends a lot of her spare time mentoring young entrepreneurs and assisting them with start-ups. She loves business and is hugely proud of Grenade’s® growth and position in the market. Juliet talks at various events about Founding Grenade® and the entrepreneurial journey and supports a number of charities. Juliet now works with FMCG businesses on their growth journey in NED / Chairperson roles. Companies include a plant based chocolate brand, gut health drinks brand and a free from snacking brand.
