Today is a BIG day!!! A few months ago we got group of our best people together to discuss how we move our retail format on again. The aim was to think about how we expand what we do experientially and with partners, bringing H&B to life in an ever better way. After a ton of hard work here it is…..the new Experience Store on Cardiff Queen St. Everything H&B do is stepped on in this store product, tech and services. You can also get the highest quality diagnostic tests in partnership with Randox and we’ve got a Wellness Studio offering classes in Pilates, Yoga and meditation through local experts. I’m hugely proud of the way this has been delivered from thoughts to renders to design to reality and shows the strength of cross-functional working we have in H&B with lots of help from our partners and suppliers. Huge thanks to all our colleagues and suppliers involved. You have been exceptional ?????? Andrew Jones Katie McNeilage Philip Nellenbach Dom Canessa Martin Bitmead Harj Josson Anthony H.

?? Blood stocks are critically low, that’s why Holland & Barrett is proud to support WeDonate in its mission to help more people successfully donate blood. ?? Did you know that almost 10% of adults willing to donate blood are turned away due to low iron levels? With the NHS needing three blood donations every minute, we simply can’t afford to lose potential life-saving donors. That’s why H&B has launched the H&B Blood Donor Bundle—a collection of essential nutrients to help maintain iron and immunity levels—making it easier for donors to stay eligible and ready to give. For just ￡10 for WeDonate members (compared to nearly ￡30 when bought individually), the bundle includes: ?? Gentle Iron 20mg – supports red blood cell formation ?? ABC-Z Multivitamins & Minerals – boosts overall health ?? Vitamin C 1000mg – aids iron absorption ?? Tamara Rajah MBE, CEO of Wellness Solutions & Transformation at H&B, shares: “We’re thrilled to partner with WeDonate to help more people donate life-saving blood. Our goal is to reduce the number of donors turned away and support the NHS in replenishing critical blood stocks.” ?? Every donation can save up to THREE lives.

Despite affecting 1.5 million women in the UK, endometriosis remains one of the least-discussed health conditions, with two in five women in the dark, and only 11% able to identify the common symptoms. This Endo Awareness Month, we’re marking the first anniversary of our free H&B Menstrual Health Advice Line, encouraging the nation to #TalkEndo. We’ve put Endo in all our store windows today, alongside Carla Cressy, founder of The Endometriosis Foundation, highlighting the support available. Lina Chan, Director of Women’s Health at H&B, shares: “Supporting women’s wellness is at the heart of H&B and central to our 3-year Women’s Health Commitment. There is still a huge gap in awareness and support for those navigating endometriosis. By spotlighting this condition across our stores, we hope to empower more women to seek guidance—whether through our trained Women’s Health Coaches in stores or via our free menstrual health?advice?line.” #HollandAndBarrett #WomensHealth #EndoAwareness
