Viridian

Viridian Nutrition was founded in 1999 in Northamptonshire, United Kingdom, by Cheryl Thallon. A vegetarian since she was 18, Cheryl started her career in the natural products industry working in health food stores from the age of 21. After training in publishing, Cheryl was made editor of Natural Food Trader magazine in 1988, where she remained for 3 years, visiting and reporting on health food stores and natural product supply companies around the world. This broad experience of the entire natural products industry led to a specialisation into food supplements, when in 1991 she joined Solgar Vitamins - an American supplement company - first as Marketing Director, and then as the UK Managing Director.
