On Friday 2nd September, Member of Parliament for South Leicestershire, Alberto Costa, visited vitamins and minerals manufacturer Lifeplan at their head office in Lutterworth to hear about their work in encouraging constituents and others to improve their health and wellbeing.
Founded in 1983, Lifeplan is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of vitamins and mineral supplements, offering over 280 products and exporting to more than 40 countries worldwide.
Alberto said, “I was very pleased to visit Lifeplan to meet with staff and to tour their head office and manufacturing area. I’m delighted that Lifeplan have been based in South Leicestershire since their inception, it’s very encouraging to see a strong manufacturing presence is still represented in the area”.
Mr Melvyn Sadofsky, F.C.A, chairman, of Lifeplan Products Ltd added, "Lifeplan Products has been established as a manufacturer of vitamins and mineral supplements in Lutterworth for 33 years and it was our great pleasure to welcome to our premises, for the first time, our South Leicestershire MP Alberto Costa. We are grateful for the interest he has shown in our business and for giving us the opportunity to share some of the challenges we might face in light of BREXIT, in the knowledge that he is committed to supporting local businesses and being their voice in Parliament."
Alberto concluded, “The Government’s new Secretary of State for Trade, Dr Liam Fox, has outlined his strategy and willingness for small and medium enterprises to take advantage of export opportunities, and I’m very pleased to see that Lifeplan are doing just that. They’re doing excellently in representing the constituency both in the UK and abroad and I wish them every success in continuing to promote good health and wellbeing”.
