Natural Products News, the UK’s leading natural and organic trade publication, has announced the launch of ‘30 under 30’ – a new initiative to recognise and celebrate the rising stars of the sector.

The initiative is open to individuals age 30 or under, and is designed specifically to highlight the outstanding contributions of emerging new talent and future leaders working in natural and organic businesses across the UK.

The 30 professionals who make the final 30 under 30 list will be invited to an exclusive networking event taking place at Natural & Organic Products Europe trade show on 22-23 April 2018 at ExCeL in London.  They will also be featured in the May issue of Natural Products News, as well as online at www.npnews.co.uk.

“The 30 under 30 will celebrate the wide mix of professionals who make this such an exciting sector to be involved in,” says Dominic Roberjot, publisher of Natural Products News. “From independent retailers to account managers, brand owners to store staff, and nutritionists to PR professionals, there are some incredible individuals whose passion for health and wellbeing is helping to drive the natural and organic industry forward.  We want to acknowledge these passionate individuals and give them the platform to meet, network and learn from each other.”

“This industry is full of so many fabulous personalities, who have been doing incredible things for so many years,” agrees Carol Dunning, event director of Natural & Organic Products Europe.  “We’re absolutely thrilled to offer this new generation of exciting talent the platform to come together at the industry’s leading event.”

The submission deadline for nominations is Friday 16 February 2018.  All entries will then be judged by a panel of industry experts.  Nominations are open to all natural and organic industry professionals – from retailers and wholesalers, brands and nutritionists, to bloggers and PRs (self-nominations are also accepted).  To nominate, please visit www.naturalproductsonline.co.uk/30-under-30.
