\n Living with endometriosis and a nut allergy, Ms Murrie began developing granola recipes in her kitchen to create products that suited her needs without compromising on flavour or nutrition.\n<\/p>\n
\n The business has since grown into a full-scale operation producing allergen-free granolas and snacks from a dedicated facility in Glenrothes.\n<\/p>\n
\n Nakey Bakey\u2019s products are free from all 14 major allergens, contain no added sugar and are naturally sweetened with fruit. The range is also vegan-friendly.\n<\/p>\n

\n The company recently won Scotmid\u2019s Scottish Favourites competition, securing a listing in Scotmid Co-op stores across Scotland.\n<\/p>\n
\n To support the expansion, Nakey Bakey has secured a \u00a3100,000 invoice finance facility from Bank of Scotland.\n<\/p>\n
\n The funding will help the business increase stock, boost production and manage longer payment terms from retailers.\n<\/p>\n
\n The company also expects to create new jobs by the end of 2026.\n<\/p>\n

\n Since rebranding in 2024, Nakey Bakey has won several awards, including Free From Product of the Year at the Scotland Food & Drink Excellence Awards and Health & Wellbeing Start-Up of the Year at the Scotland Start-Up Awards.\n<\/p>\n
\n The business has achieved SALSA food safety accreditation and has been recognised through two parliamentary motions.\n<\/p>\n
\n Ms Murrie said: “What began as a personal solution quickly became something much bigger, showing me that many others were looking for the same thing.\n<\/p>\n
\n “My family and friends encouraged me to pursue it as a business, and the response since then has shown just how much demand there is for genuinely healthy, allergen-free food.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Steven Anderson, relationship manager at Bank of Scotland, said: “Megan has built an impressive business by turning personal experience into a product range that meets growing consumer demand.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Nakey Bakey’s expansion is a testament to that entrepreneurial vision, and we’re pleased to be supporting the business as it scales and pursues its next stage of growth.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Megan Murrie, from Fife, founded Glenrothes-based Nakey Bakey.
