Bella & Duke nutritionally designed raw pet food using cutting edge science and perfectly balanced to give your dog or cat all the vital protein, vitamins and minerals they need for their good health and wellbeing. We are RawSAFE accredited, food is manufactured to the highest human grade safety standards. Meals are frozen inside 30 minutes before delivery on demand to customers’ doors nationwide.

Gresham led a £3.5m round into Bella & Duke, and continued our support with a further £1.26m investment.  We actively supported the process to recruit the new CEO James Sturrock, who joins the experienced chair Peter Farquhar formerly of Dorset cereals and Forthglade food.

Investment rationale

With this funding, the business is capitalising on its early mover advantage in a fast-growing niche of the large and established pet food market by further investing in sales and marketing, and recruitment.
