We cover a comprehensive range. Our formulations use the purest raw materials available and provide nutrients in their most absorbable and bio-available forms.

We have our own analytical laboratories where we perform detailed analysis on raw materials and finished products using, amongst other approaches, HPLC, GC, and AA, along with dedicated temperature and climate controlled chambers in which our stability testing is performed.

We have a high quality research program and our expert team designs our own unique, premium quality range of products based on the latest research. As well as our emphasis on quality we also focus on innovation in terms of both product development and exploitation of new and advanced manufacturing techniques.

As much as our emphasis is on product development and excellence in the field of nutritional science we also believe that it is our responsibility as a company to be environmentally conscious and minimize the environmental impact of modern manufacturing processes.

As well as providing competitively priced, quality products supported by high service levels we also believe in offering access to high quality information using the most up to date technology available

Manufacturing Operations-our foundation

Our ISO 9001 registered state of the art manufacturing capability opened in 2007 by TV Doctor Chris Steele operates to the highest standards of excellence. Every room in the manufacturing suites has CCTV, temperature, humidity and dust control with air filtered and changed on a regular basis. A comprehensive range of operations from hard shell encapsulation, powder blending, liquid mixing, herbal extraction, cream and ointment manufacture, liquid filling, tube filling, tablet and capsule packing, blistering and labelling enables 1880 Group to be self sufficient in all aspects of the nutritional supplement business. This facility approved by the Soil Association of Great Britain also enables a wide range of organic formulations to be manufactured on site.

Quality-our commitment

Clear and strong leadership has created a focussed teamwork ethic throughout the organisation and ensuring products meet the highest quality standards is a commitment which has driven the company since its inception. In order to achieve this objective the company has not simply invested in plant and processes but also in people. It is a recognition that the people within the organisation are a critical success factor that has enabled the business to grow as quickly and successfully as it has in such a relatively short space of time.

Sourcing Traceability-our bedrock

The company seeks to know as much as possible about the raw materials used in their products and to have the highest degree of control over the way in which they are harvested and/or produced and some years ago set in place a programme to enable source traceability of all raw materials to be identified.

 This makes 1880 Group a unique organisation within healthcare in the UK, managing not only the manufacturing and distribution of its products but also controlling the very essence of the raw materials from which those products were derived. A clear statement of the care the company has for its products.

Customer service-our goal

Our dedicated distribution warehouse typically processing over 1000 orders a week enables the operation to service customer requirements effectively and efficiently.

A commitment to the highest levels of customer service is paramount within the business and given our broad customer base responding effectively and efficiently to every customer’s needs is a critical factor for success.

Development and Innovation-our future

1880 Group makes a serious investment year upon year in the development of its products and people. Our ongoing programme of research into the clinical benefits of unique range of nutritional supplements has attracted the interest and involvement of world recognised investigators. This work has been conducted in internationally accredited institutions and the results have appeared in leading peer reviewed medical journals.
