Holland & Barrett was formed in 1870. The retailer has grown into one of the largest sellers of health foods, supplements, vitamins and minerals in the UK with more than 700 stores nationwide, as well as an international presence in Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, China, Hong Kong, India, Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
