About Bulk
Since bulk™ was founded back in 2006, we’ve been dedicated to empowering every athlete and every person with the right nutrition and inspiration they need, to not only achieve their goals but to go beyond them.
The story began when our two founders Adam Rossiter and Elliot Dawes were at university as passionate gym-goers, they knew things could be different...and better. Wanting to get more from the supplements available at the time, they decided to change the game and create transparent and industry-leading products that anyone could trust - from athletes to casual gym-goers. That’s how our mission to transform sports nutrition and wellbeing started.
That’s why we’re committed to empowering progress and creating world-class products for every step of that journey. This means delivering the highest-quality supplements with sustainably sourced ingredients and packaging where achievable, combined, of course, with delicious flavours - all in one place.
We have offices and facilities in 3 locations. Colchester, Essex is home to our main manufacturing and production facility while our London office in Liverpool Street hosts our Marketing, eCommerce and Creative teams. We’ve also recently expanded globally to open a distribution centre in Wroclaw, Poland.
2020 was our most exciting year to date with the launch of our new brand identity under bulk™. This project was our most ambitious to date and every single teammate has worked very hard to make it happen. We couldn’t be more proud of this incredible journey.
Starting as a team of two people, the business has constantly grown in size. The bulk™ team is now made up of over 200 people. If you’re looking for the next challenge in your career and you’re ready to be at the forefront of sports nutrition and lifestyle, we’d love to hear from you.
