COVID-19 UPDATE

Delivery Update: We are currently operating with a normal delivery service with both standard and next-day delivery. If you do experience any problems with your order please do not hesitate and get in contact with our customer care team

We want to assure you that at PhD, you can still expect world-class nutrition with a 5-star service. COVID-19 is affecting everyone around the world and as a global business we are following advice and making decisions as we gain new facts. We are an ISO 9001 and LGC accredited manufacturing site, so have the highest standard of food safety and quality at the core of our business. On top of the standard procedures that we operate on a day to day basis, we have also:

Increased our cleaning routines throughout our manufacturing, fulfilment and office facilities.
Given additional training to all employees on good hygiene practice and have placed additional hand sanitiser stations throughout the whole of the business.
Adherence to the government guidelines on self-isolation and supporting our staff through this period.
Self-assessment of colleagues prior to entering the manufacturing and fulfilment sites.
Been risk assessed (at our premises) and we are compliant with government guidelines.

For any orders, we would like to advise customers that a residential address is preferable for deliveries as businesses may have to close going forward (dependent on Government advice).

Our customer service team remain open to support you with any queries. Please use this help page for guidance.

Hard work and preparation doesn't have to be wasted, only re-channelled to greater goals. If you're training indoors, check out our Perform Smart Zone to see training tips and recipes to fuel your nutrition.

Stay safe and well, from all of us here at PhD.
