Stephen Turner, founder of Group55 Limited, overcame significant challenges to achieve success. Growing up in an economically disadvantaged household, he faced numerous obstacles. His severe dyslexia made school particularly difficult, but he persevered. In 1999, Turner founded Group55 with just £700. Initially focusing on ecommerce and fulfilment services, the company helped brands navigate the digital economy.
Recognising the potential in the pet care industry, Turner launched Animology, a brand that disrupted the market with innovative products. As Animology’s success grew, Group55 expanded into private label manufacturing. In 2017, Turner established Group55’s own manufacturing facility and under his leadership, Group55 has become a leading UK manufacturer in personal care, pet care, and home care products.
