Myprotein founder Oliver Cookson, from Stockport, started his company with just £500
A multi-millionaire who left school with one GCSE has revealed how he turned one simple idea into a business empire.
“School and learning academically wasn’t for me,” he told the Manchester Evening News. “It doesn’t mean it’s wrong, but I think people learn in different ways. Oliver was drinking his pre-bed shake one night in his mum’s house when he read up about an ingredient called whey protein. To help buy a single sack of whey powder, Oliver approached his local bank for a start-up loan but was swiftly rejected.
“I bought a single sack of protein, made a website, sold it. Bought two sacks, sold it. It completely grew.” But there was one special moment where Oliver knew he had made it. “After three years, one of the moments I realised I’d made it was when I wrote myself a cheque for one million pounds,” he told the M.E.N.
Within just a few years of launching the company in 2004, Oliver’s hard work had already paid off – seeing Myprotein named the number one sports nutrition online company in Europe.
