New jobs as Nutrition Group sees 'dramatic rise' in demand for vitamins

Leading international food supplement and health product manufacturer Nutrition Group has seen a dramatic rise in the demand for its immune system-boosting products during the coronavirus crisis.

The fast-growing contract manufacturer in the health supplements and sports nutrition sector has created 20 new jobs, invested in faster machinery and increased its working hours to keep up with demand from customers.

Orders for Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc tablets increased by almost 100 per cent year-on-year in February, with similar rises in March and April. The majority are destined for the UK mail-order and online markets.

The Blackpool-based, family-owned business now employs 150 staff and has an annual turnover of £17m.
