Leading sport supplement Applied Nutrition enjoys global growth through strategic retail partnerships - and Coleen Rooney's new wellness range
A leading sports nutrition brand is experiencing remarkable global growth following the appointment of high-profile ambassadors and strategic retail partnerships.
Applied Nutrition's rapid expansion is being driven by an ambassador roster featuring Coleen Rooney, boxer Daniel Dubois and UFC star Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett, whose massive fan followings are propelling the company to new heights both in the UK and abroad.
Since 2014, the business has grown from a British start-up to an international powerhouse, now present in more than 80 countries.
One of the most recent developments for the brand has been the introduction of Rooney's own line of fitness products.
The TV personality launched a range of nutrition supplements in collaboration with Applied Nutrition, targeting health conscious women.
The collection includes protein powders, energy drinks, and other supplements aimed at providing a balanced boost for the everyday fitness enthusiast.
Rooney's involvement has been a game-changer for the brand given her status as one of the UK's most high-profile media personalities.
Her active ambassadorial role has helped position Applied Nutrition as a brand that resonates with both male and female consumers.
Meanwhile, Pimblett, the Liverpool-born UFC fighter, famous for his larger-than-life personality and knockout performances inside the octagon, has been a major part of Applied Nutrition's success by leading the promoting the ABE (All Black Everything) pre-workout supplement, and has given the brand a serious edge in the competitive sports nutrition market.
Boxing champion Daniel Dubois, whose meteoric rise in the heavyweight division has captured the attention of fans worldwide, has also recently partnered the brand and has further boosted the company's profile on a global scale.
'Paddy, Daniel, and Coleen are exceptional ambassadors who each bring a unique dimension to our brand. Paddy's dynamic personality and success in the UFC, Daniel's rising star power in boxing, and Coleen's authentic commitment to health and wellness align perfectly with what we do,' said Thomas Ryder, CEO at Applied Nutrition.
'These partnerships have enabled us to not only expand into new markets and regions but also connect with key demographics, particularly sports and fitness and wellbeing enthusiasts, as well as individuals who are passionate about living healthy, active lifestyles.
'It's crucial for us to build deeper connections with people who use our products and those who share our values of performance, well-being, and excellence, and these ambassadors help us do that in a meaningful way.'
Thanks to its new wave of high-profile ambassadors, Applied Nutrition has been able to secure expanded retail partnerships with major outlets. In the UK, the brand has deepened its presence with prominent retailers like Holland & Barrett, while in the US, it has struck deals with General Nutrition Centers.
The company's recent flotation on the UK stock market was another key milestone in its rapid rise. Launched in October 2024, the flotation was met with great success, valuing the company at £350 million.

Sterling set to end week higher with spending plans in focus
June 6 (Reuters) - Sterling was on track to finish the week higher on Friday, supported by a UK economy largely resilient in the face of global turbulence, although investors will be monitoring the government's spending plans. The pound has gained about 0.6% this week, strengthened by data that showed UK services sector activity expanded more than expected. The currency was also boosted by relief Britain was spared from further U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminium following its deal with Washington last month. The pound slipped 0.2% to $1.3544 on Friday after touching its highest level since February 2022 the previous day. Against the euro , it was steady at 84.38 pence. Traders are still concerned, however, about the sustainability of growing debt loads in developed markets. A gilt auction this week indicated healthy demand for UK debt, but finance minister Rachel Reeves' spending plans on Wednesday could be the next test. The plans will set government departments' budgets up to 2029, with the focus on public investment in infrastructure and taxation plans, when analysts say sources of funding are diminishing and the benchmark gilt yield is among the highest in developed markets. "Wednesday's spending review will epitomise just how tight things look for UK government departments," said James Smith, an economist at ING. "And life is only going to get harder for the Treasury in the autumn. We think the government's 'headroom' will fully evaporate and that tax rises look increasingly inevitable later this year." Many of sterling's gains this year have resulted from a broadly weak U.S. dollar as investors price in the risk that President Donald Trump's erratic policymaking could result in a U.S. recession that could spill over to the rest of the world. Against this backdrop, Bank of England policymakers have urged a gradual and cautious approach to monetary policy decision-making. Interest rate futures point to the central bank leaving interest rates unchanged at its upcoming policy meeting, according to data compiled by LSEG. On the data front, British house prices fell by more than expected in May following an increase in property transaction taxes the prior month, Halifax said. The mortgage lender also said that the housing market looked "broadly stable". The market will also focus on a U.S. jobs report later in the day.

Huge change to crypto investing rules revealed by city watchdog as it issues warning
We've outlined the risks associated with investing in cryptocurrency below CASH IN Huge change to crypto investing rules revealed by city watchdog as it issues warning Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HUGE change to crypto investing rules could come into force as the city watchdog issues a warning. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is set to lift a ban on some investments for individual, or retail, investors. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The FCA is mooting lifting a ban for individual investors Credit: Alamy The watchdog has launched a consultation looking at allowing them to access crypto exchange-traded notes (cETNs). Crypto ETNs can be bought and sold and work by tracking the performance of cryptoassets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. It means people are exposed to its changing value without needing to hold the asset themselves. Currently, just professional investors are allowed to buy and sell the investment product after the FCA granted them access last year. Read more on Cryptocurrency WALLET WATCH HMRC to introduce rules for Crypto holders as fresh tax crackdown launched At the time, the regulator said it still believed crypto ETNs to be 'ill-suited for retail consumers due to the harm they pose'. David Geale, the FCA's executive director of payments and digital assets, said the proposals today reflected how the FCA was committed "to supporting the growth and competitiveness of the UK's crypto industry". However, he added: "We want to rebalance our approach to risk and lifting the ban would allow people to make the choice on whether such a high-risk investment is right for them given they could lose all their money.' Access to crypto derivatives would still be banned for retail investors – but the FCA said it would continue to consider its approach to high-risk investments. In April, Chancellor Rachel Reeves said she wanted the UK to be a 'world leader in digital assets' and announced plans to make crypto firms subject to regulation in the same way as traditional finance companies. 'While the UK will always be committed to high international standards, I am determined that our regulatory framework supports economic growth,' she said at the time. Four bombshell clues in hunt for elusive Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakomoto revealed in doc - & signs he could be BRITISH But the FCA's chairman Nikhil Rathi recently warned that the number of young people turning to crypto as their first taste of investment was 'not great', adding that it was 'very high risk and you could potentially lose all your money'. The price of Bitcoin hit a fresh all-time high last month, topping about 111,000 dollars (£82,000) as the crypto market rallies amid support from Donald Trump's administration in the US. What is cryptocurrency? Cryptocurrencies differ from physical currencies, such as the pound. They are created using blockchain technology and part of their appeal is that they are not controlled by governments or a central bank, such as the Bank of England. It means the currency can be used to transfer wealth outside of the traditional banking system, making it easier to cross borders or stay anonymous when moving wealth. Bitcoin is the leading cryptocurrency but its rise has helped other cryptocurrencies also grow in value, such as Ethereum. In recent years, more mainstream companies and institutions have invested in cryptocurrency, and part of the recent rise in value is based on President Trump's favourable views on cryptocurrency. How do people invest in crypto? In the UK, you cannot invest in cryptocurrency funds through stocks and shares ISAs, general investment accounts, or pensions due to regulations. If you want to invest in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, you'll need to use specialist trading platforms like Coin Bureau or PlanB. These platforms allow you to own crypto as a financial asset, though some accounts may not let you spend it. Crypto businesses in the UK must register with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). To check if a business is registered, visit the Financial Services Register at There's also a list of unregistered businesses at Businesses on this list may be operating illegally. If you don't want to invest in cryptocurrencies directly, you can still gain exposure to the market by investing in companies involved in the crypto space. The dangers of investing in crypto HERE are five key risks to keep in mind when investing in cryptocurrencies: Consumer protection: Many cryptocurrency investments promising high returns are not fully regulated, apart from anti-money laundering rules. This means you may have limited protection if things go wrong. Price volatility: Cryptocurrency prices can rise and fall dramatically, making it easy to lose money. It's also difficult to reliably determine their value. Product complexity: Crypto products and services can be complicated, which makes it hard to understand the risks. Plus, there's no guarantee you can convert your cryptocurrency back to cash—it depends on market demand and supply. Charges and fees: Crypto investments often come with high fees, which can eat into your returns. These fees are often higher than those for regulated investments. Marketing hype: Some firms exaggerate potential returns or downplay the risks involved. Be cautious of flashy promotions. It's essential to only invest in cryptocurrency if you fully understand how it works and the risks involved. Remember, there's no guarantee you can exchange it for real cash, and its value can change drastically in a short time. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Always double-check with a trusted friend or advisor if you're unsure. Be wary of glowing websites or perfect reviews - fraudsters often create convincing scams.

Florian Wirtz 'doubts' emerge as agreement reached over £126m Liverpool target
Both Micah Richards and Alan Shearer are in agreement over Liverpool target Florian Wirtz, and his potential inability to adapt to the physicality of the Premier League from the Bundesliga Micah Richards and Alan Shearer both doubt whether Florian Wirtz will handle the Premier League's physicality as Liverpool continue to push for his signature. The German maestro is being lined up for a move to Anfield this month. Leverkusen's 22-year-old playmaker has emerged as the next top target for Arne Slot's league title-winning Reds, who have already poached wing-back Jeremie Frimpong from the Bundesliga outfit for a cut-price £30m. Wirtz's transfer fee is the only thing that is currently delaying a deal being completed. The German side have rejected each of Liverpool's bids so far as they reportedly hold out for a British record transfer sum of over £126m. Should the German eventually arrive in England, however, pundits and ex-pros Richards and Shearer agree that he may be unable to cope with the increased physicality of the top flight, while they lauded him as a special technical talent. So far, Leverkusen have turned down two offers from the Reds for Wirtz, the latest totalling £110m, though another is expected imminently for the star who registered 16 goals and 13 assists in all competitions last year. German outlet BILD also report that personal terms will be no issue, and Wirtz has already agreed on a prospective contract that will keep him on Merseyside until 2030. In light of such revelations and the increased likelihood that a deal will soon be reached, Richards and Shearer chewed the fat about Wirtz, agreeing that their only worry would be his youthful frame. Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Shearer questioned to co-host Richards: "Is he that good Micah?" "He's exceptional," retorted the former Manchester City defender. "Obviously, he's got to do it in a league which is more physical. That is my only doubt. It's my only doubt. Tactically, he's got it. Technically, he's got it. "The way he manipulates the ball… he was a superstar from a young age, so he can deal with pressure. It's just, where does he fit into the system? "Is he gonna play in Dominik Szoboszlai's role? Or is he gonna play him out on the left-hand side, because he can do both, and honestly, for £120million he's worth every single penny." Shearer then chimed in, adding: "I've seen him quite a bit this season in the Champions League, and there's no doubt he's a really, really talented player. "It's a hell of a lot of money, but I think he'll be a success. I would say the same in terms of the physical side of things. With technical ability and all of that, he's a very, very good player." Though Reds fans will hope an agreement is reached soon, former Leverkusen sporting director Rudi Voller admitted this week that it may 'take a while' until the details are ironed out between both parties. Though he says Wirtz is keen and likely to end up a Liverpool player.
