We are Natural Balance Foods, an ambitious young company best known by our nákd and Trek brands. We are devoted to making delicious, better for you snacks…and having some fun along the way too Founded in 2006, we have grown quickly to now be one of the UK’s leading Cereal Bar suppliers by offering consumers a healthy, wholefood alternative to the over-processed snack bars that previously dominated the shelves in UK Grocery. Our nákd bars are “raw”, made with simple natural and wholesome ingredients like fruits, nuts, oats and seeds; they are free from gluten, wheat and dairy, are vegan, and the majority count towards 1 of your 5-a-day. Our Trek bars are also free from gluten, wheat and dairy, are vegan, and packed with natural, plant-based protein to keep you going This is an exciting opportunity to be part of our growing, ambitious company, working alongside the small but expanding team of people here at NBF, as well as our colleagues in the Lotus Bakeries Natural Foods division; a family of brands that we joined in 2021.
