Sunderland construction company to create headquarters for UK's fastest growing nutrition brand

Based on Merseyside, Applied Nutrition is described as the UK’s fastest growing sports and active nutrition brand, “formulating and creating premium nutrition supplements for professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts”.

BDN secured the green light for the site in Knowsley earlier this month (March), with the development set to increase the company's total operational footprint to more than 204,000 sq ft across its Liverpool-based facilities.

(BDN) will undertake civil and structural engineering and full architectural design services for the modern new base, working closely with Applied Nutrition’s chief executive and founder, Thomas Ryder, and chief operating officer Steven Granite during the design phase.

Joe Warner, architecture director at BDN, said: "This was a fantastic project for us to work on, with an ambitious business lead by a team who have a really clear vision for the future.

"It was a challenging scheme, with lots of constraints, particularly in achieving the bio net gains required to achieve planning consent, but we were able to design plans and build in mitigations that will enable the business to deliver a site that meets their requirements, delivers on BNG requirements and can be delivered within budget.

“It will be a brilliant facility for the growing team at Applied Nutrition to continue to thrive."
