Roarsome secures new £1.5m funding to supercharge ‘next phase of growth’
Sustainable outdoor kidswear brand Roarsome has secured £1.5 million of new investment led by Sustainable Wealth Group, enabling its next phase of growth.
The capital will dramatically increase its production capabilities and “power an ambitious global expansion plan”, including setting up new fulfilment operations and warehousing in the US and EU.
It will also allow the company to broaden its global market reach and expand its ‘mission-driven team’ with key hires in marketing and operations to meet soaring demand.
Will Chapman, co-founder of Roarsome, said: “This investment is a huge vote of confidence in our vision and our business model. It will allow us to scale our impact internationally, helping us get more kids off screens and outdoors while building their connection with nature. We're incredibly excited about this next chapter.”
Harvey Knight, CEO of Sustainable Wealth Group, added: “Roarsome stands out for both its growth potential and for its genuine commitment to sustainability both environmentally and socially.
“The company’s approach to a circular economy in children's wear is exactly the kind of innovation we look to support.”
Roarsome’s main outerwear and accessories, including snow suits, coats, swimwear and sportswear, are made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, while its base layers and neck warmers are made from bamboo, chosen for its eco-friendly, thermal-regulating and hypoallergenic properties.
Adding to its sustainability credentials, Roarsome also transitioned to Green Fulfilment in 2021, ensuring all packaging uses paper instead of plastic while also utilising biodegradable mailing bags.
