We’re delighted to see the story behind Immufix featured in the Summer 2026 edition of Active Magazine.
In the feature, titled “We loved it so much we bought the company,” editor Mary Bremner explores the remarkable series of friendships and coincidences that brought the new Immufix team together.
Phillippa and James Spilsbury first became friends with Paula Radcliffe and her husband and coach, Gary Lough, while their children attended the same school in Monaco.
Years later, after Phillippa and James had returned to the UK, Paula recognised the area during a visit to their home in West Deeping. On her morning run, she discovered that she had passed the premises where Immufix — a product she had taken since 1998 — was made.
Paula returned with a pouch for Phillippa, introducing her to the product that would ultimately inspire a much bigger journey.
From loyal customers to owners
Having developed a strong personal belief in Immufix and its potential, Phillippa and James began asking whether they could purchase the business.
Earlier this year, that opportunity finally arrived. They acquired the company together with Paula and Gary, and their long-term friends Caroline Haughey OBE KC and Mark Braid.
The group have since relaunched Immufix with refreshed packaging, a new website and a renewed ambition to introduce the product to more people.
The Active Magazine feature also includes Paula’s personal account of discovering the original Immufix formulation in 1998 and why it has remained part of her daily routine ever since.
The complete story appears on pages 21–23 of the Summer 2026 edition of Active Magazine.
