Our Story

Our Mission: To be Britains best loved healthy frozen meal solution

A word from our founder, Craig Allen

I want to tell you about me, the Craig who dropped out of university to chase a new dream. In 2012 I explored an idea that Steam Cooked Chicken would be great for students and gym-goers to make healthy eating, easier.

I started each day by loading up 3 freezers into the van and a box full of stickered-up gold bags. I would drive across the M62 to Manchester every day and pick up 225 bags of chicken (all that I could fit in the freezer compartment of the van) and then drive to deliver the bags to a stockist that had ordered them.

All whilst scouting out 4/5 new stockists that I would pop into en route, trying to build my milk round. Some days I would be out 18 hours a day just driving the country at 56mph but I knew it would be worth it once we built the foundations.

GSN in a nutshell

GSN established itself as a market leading health brand through a network of gyms and leisure centres – 2020 allowed us to expand our customer portfolio reaching out to and hearing from a diverse range of GSN stockists.

These now include but are not limited to emergency service stations (Police, NHS, Fire stations and blue light hubs), universities, micro markets, garage forecourts, butchers, coffee shops, corporate and business accounts along with professional sports teams.

All have unique and engaging customer demographic with the common need and demand for healthy, high protein whole foods – which GSN provides.
