AddressWe are Natural Balance Foods, a British company best known for our Nakd and Trek brands. We are devoted to making delicious, genuinely healthy snacks…and having some fun along the way too! Founded in 2006, we have grown exponentially by offering consumers a healthy, wholefood alternative to the over-processed snack bars that previously dominated the shelves in UK Grocery. Nakd and Trek are available in all the UK’s supermarkets, as well as leading convenience, wholesale, online and foodservice outlets. Our products are made with our super-secret “magic goo”* of natural and wholesome ingredients; are free from gluten, wheat and dairy, are vegan, and the majority count towards 1 of your 5-a-day. Our Trek products are also packed with natural, plant-based protein to keep you going. Nature is nice! This is an exciting opportunity to be part of our rapidly growing, ambitious company, working alongside the small but expanding team of people here at NBF that have already joined the wholefood revolution! *OK, we’ll let you into the secret – it’s just fruit and nuts smooshed together! 100% natural ingredients
