G&G Vitamins marked its 60th anniversary with a special celebration attended by staff, family, and industry.
The company hosted a special celebration at Kingdom in Penshurst, surrounded by over 100 guests, comprised of staff, family, clients, and long-time supporters of the business, including representatives from the HFMA and Soil Association. The event commemorated six decades of ethical supplement manufacturing, staying true to the family-run company’s roots and founding mission. It featured captivating speeches from Director, Lizzy Calcioli, daughter of G&G founders, David and Sheila Gaiman, and CEO Myles McEntyre. Special guest speaker, Penny Viner, from the HFMA, presented Chairman, Mauro Calcioli, with an award on behalf of the company, recognising G&G’s long-standing commitment to quality, integrity, and wellbeing.
Guests were treated to an afternoon filled with symbolic touches honouring G&G’s heritage, including a stunning anniversary cake displayed on six pastel-coloured tiers of macarons, each tier representing a decade of the company’s journey. Attendees also received hand-tied gift bags featuring a special edition vitamin E supplement – a heartfelt nod to G&G’s origins. This product was the very first supplement formulated by David and Sheila Gaiman, created out of necessity when they couldn’t find a strong enough vitamin E supplement to meet their personal health requirements. It marked the beginning of G&G’s enduring philosophy: to make supplements they themselves believed in that avoided the use of unnecessary fillers, binders and excipients. Guests enjoyed food, a live band, and a visual timeline of the company’s history, set against the scenic backdrop of the Kent countryside.
“For six decades, we’ve stayed true to our mission: to improve people’s health and wellbeing through high-quality food supplements,” commented CEO Myles McEntyre. “Since those early days, that belief has remained at the very heart of everything we do.”
The event also highlighted G&G’s continued growth, Myles added: “As part of our continued expansion we are thrilled to announce that G&G has acquired new premises and will be investing in a state-of-the-art clean room- to further enhance our capabilities allowing us to double our capacity.”
