Protein Works appoints HR chief

Liverpool-headquartered nutrition brand Protein Works has appointed Lyndsay Chambers as chief human resources officer to support its focus on developing early-career talent.

Lyndsay joins from Vitaflo, where she spent a decade as chief people officer, and brings experience from senior HR roles at Hewlett Packard and the Department for Work and Pensions.

In her new role, she will lead the company’s people strategy, with a focus on coaching, mentoring and building future leaders.

Lyndsay said: “The story and ambition of Protein Works drew me in instantly. 

“There is an incredible amount of pride, passion and expertise here, and that’s something I want to nurture and bottle for new recruits. 

“Employment rates show that young people are being overlooked in today’s markets, often in favour of AI-driven solutions. 

“Protein Works is already using AI extensively to support its innovation and processes, but for us, embracing new technology and developing young talent aren’t in competition. 

“It’s up to fast-growing companies like Protein Works to give grads a chance and tap into this country’s tremendous talent pool.”

Lyndsay’s appointment comes as Protein Works continues to invest in graduate talent and expand its operations following its move to a new Liverpool headquarters.

Chief executive Laura Kier added: “Protein Works is passionate about nurturing early-career professionals within our fast-paced, supportive environment and people-centred culture. 

“It’s also something that I’m personally very passionate about. 

“It’s an approach that I like to call ‘from grad to great’, and it’s achieved through more than simply giving people a mentor; it’s about helping them truly reach their potential to be board members and future leaders here.

“I’m so pleased that we are welcoming Lyndsay to the team to further support this vision. 

“She brings deep expertise in talent development and coaching, and will play a critical role in ensuring we continue to unlock the potential of our people. 

“Because when our people win, so does our business.”
