Holland & Barrett to expand head office team
Health food retailer Holland & Barrett is to create 30 new jobs at its head office in Nuneaton and plans to add a further 40 new roles across different departments in the business over the next six months.
The move follows a record six years of consecutive growth for the company and the opening of its 1000th store in the Trafford Centre, Manchester.
Peter Aldis, chief executive of Holland & Barrett parent company NBTY Europe, said: “The creation of these jobs reflects our continued growth and the significant investment we have made recently in UK expansion. A new generation of more health and fitness savvy consumers is driving increased footfall into our stores, and we have in particular seen an increase in demand for our ‘free-from’ food products as well as our ethical beauty ranges.”
Marcus Jones, MP for Nuneaton, said: “I was very pleased to visit Holland & Barrett in Nuneaton to learn more about their business growth. Their expansion is extremely positive news for local people here in Nuneaton and I wish them every continued success.”
Holland & Barrett is also creating a further 200 jobs in its stores nationwide.
