The idea for hydracaddie came about in July 2024 after I had completed a marathon and realised I would not have been able to without effective nutrition.
I have played golf all my life and noticed nobody knows what to eat when out on the course – some opt for a sausage roll, others opt for fizzy drinks. Yet you will never see a player in the professional game consume either, so why are amateurs negatively impacting their performances by incorrectly fuelling their bodies.
In golf, many halfway huts offer unhealthy snacks and drinks which are great in the moment, but often lead to a energy crash due to the amounts of sugar and caffeine included. At hydracaddie, we have developed an electrolyte sachet, which is innovative to the golf space, and is caffeine-free and only 0.2g of sugar.
Naija Flavia is a bold, modern food brand bringing the real flavours of Nigeria to everyday kitchens — Real Flavour, Real Taste, Real Easy.
Born from a Nigerian heritage and perfected in London, We are on a mission to make authentic West African sauces convenient, accessible, and proudly premium.
We believe that just as you can go to any shop and pick up a jar of Indian, Thai, Chinese sauces to try those cuisines for yourself – everyone should have that same opportunity to experience the full on flavour of Nigerian cuisine in their own homes.
From our aromatic Egusi Stew to our rich Ayamase (Ofada Sauce) and smoky Jollof Stew, every jar captures the heart of home cooking with none of the long prep typical of Nigerian cooking. We’ve done the work for our customers.
Our brand stands for authenticity meets convenience — traditional recipes, simplified for the modern cook, without compromise on taste, culture, or quality.
RED-Scue is an award-winning food & wellness brand addressing one of sport’s most under-recognised problems: chronic under-fuelling due to low energy and carbohydrate availability.
Founded by a former international track athlete diagnosed with Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs), RED-Scue was built to make adequate fuelling practical in real life — through portable, high-carbohydrate energy jars designed for athletes and active people.
We are independently owned, early-stage, UK-based, and already trading, with growing demand now exceeding what our current packaging setup can support — making this the right moment to outsource and scale.
