Cookson founded the online sports
nutrition brand Myprotein from a lock-up
garage in 2004 with a £500 overdraft. He
grew up in Manchester and his parents, a
secretary and a second-hand car dealer,
separated when he was 11 years old. He
says doing a paper round taught him to
work hard and convinced him he could
earn more money working for himself. He
left school at 16 with one GCSE, having
failed his computer science exam.
Despite this, he got a job as a web
developer and later startedWythenshawe-based Myprotein, which
manufactures and distributes protein
powders, vitamins and other dietary
supplements. In 2011 he sold it for £58m
to the Hut group, co-founded by Matt
Moulding (qv), taking half in cash and the
rest in Hut shares. A £1.5bn float is on the
cards , which will value his stake at £150m.
For Cookson, 38, the desire to try a
second start-up proved irresistible. In
2011 he founded Monoc ore, the owner of
GoNutrition and other health brands,
which is worth £6m. 2016: £152m, 681=555= £ 206 m £ 54 m ▲
