"Holland & Barrett is one of the UK's largest health and wellness retailers, and a major online player. We're delighted to be supporting their ecommerce ambitions through underpinning their operational efforts for D2C fulfilment and courier management services, directly into their customers hands.

"We feel this is a true demonstration of how the THG Ingenuity platform can provide incremental services to established brands, delivering operational excellence, becoming world class at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time."

Anthony Houghton, Chief Operating Officer, Holland & Barrett, commented:

"Holland & Barrett's goal is to be the trusted health and wellness partner for over 100 million people globally by 2026. We're growing as a business, with digital sales making a significant volume of our total sales. Our proposed three-year partnership with THG Ingenuity will mean we can continue to grow at pace with a partner who are industry experts in D2C fulfilment, while we invest in transforming our supply chain capabilities."
