The Suffolk drinks producer has raised capital to scale its non-alcoholic spirits business.
"Anglia Capital Group is excited to invest in Crossip, a company that is reshaping the landscape of non-alcoholic spirits. Crossip have shown a dedication to quality and innovation and we’re excited to be part of their journey."
The Norfolk food company raised the follow-on funding from Anglia Capital Group and New Anglia Capital.
"One Planet Pizza were initially successful in securing £115,000 through Anglia Capital Group and our co-investment fund, New Anglia Capital, the first time they pitched to the group in 2021. We were delighted to hear from them early in 2022 when they were looking to raise again. It’s always good to have a portfolio company come back to present to the members for a follow-on round and to share their progress. They once again gave an impressive pitch and received £162,876 through Anglia Capital Group and New Anglia Capital. One Planet Pizza are based locally here in Norwich and it’s incredibly satisfying for the Anglia Capital Group team to see them going from strength to strength"
The Suffolk-based pet-care brand raised £62k to fuel its expansion into international markets.
"Our premium range of grooming, gifts and treats is made in the UK with natural ingredients. We’re finding the ‘new type’ of dog owner – who treat their furry friend like one of the family – is delighted with the quality and innovation we’ve brought to a category that’s been sadly lacking emphasis on a dog’s wellbeing. We were invited to exhibit at Crufts this year and independent boutiques, department stores, Garden Centres and luxe petshops around the country have given us great feedback on sales. Next up for us is export, with enquiries coming in from the Far East, Europe and the USA."
The funding round includes £60k secured through Anglia Capital Group and New Anglia Capital.
"Anglia Capital Group are committed to providing opportunities to innovative start-ups in our region. It’s great to see Norwich-based Beep succeed in their funding round and we’re excited to see what is next for this young company."
