Liverpool-based Applied Nutrition has celebrated a hat-trick of business awards in the space of a week.
The nutrition brand was founded in 2014 by Thomas Ryder and counts Coleen Rooney among its investors and brand ambassadors.
Self-made entrepreneur Ryder was included in BusinessCloud’s Founder 250 list.
In the last week, Applied Nutrition has walked away with three awards:
- Business of the Year 2026 at the Liverpool Innovation & Impact Awards;
- Sustainable Growth Award 2026 at the UK Fast Growth Index Awards; and
- Fastest Growing Profit-Led Firm 2026 at the UK Fast Growth Index Awards.
A spokesperson for Applied Nutrition said: “These achievements reflect the ambition, hard work and dedication of the team, and the continued growth of Applied Nutrition.
“An exciting time for the business, with plenty more to come.”
Applied Nutrition’s share price rose marginally over the last week to 298.50p, giving the company a market capitalisation of £746.25m.
At a share price of 400p, its market value would reach £1bn.
In 2024, the London Stock Exchange welcomed Applied Nutrition to its main market, and the company has not looked back.
Applied Nutrition raised £157.5m through an oversubscribed placing, giving the company a market capitalisation of approximately £350m on admission.
The IPO reportedly gave Ryder a £62m windfall, sparking a flurry of media headlines and attention.
