In post-war Britain vitamin manufacturing was not the thriving industry that it is today. Vitamins were mostly limited to small quantities of vitamin A and D, and multivitamins were a completely foreign concept. Tired of the pharmaceutical industry’s ignorance of natural health, David Gaiman approached a large pharmaceutical company and negotiated the manufacture of high dosage vitamin E and a three part multivitamin. It was originally intended for him and his wife and to provide to friends and family. But word soon spread in the local community and in 1965 G&G was born. It was the perfect husband and wife partnership and they began selling by mail order and to locals out of their Sussex home. In 1974 David and Sheila bought their first shop on East Grinstead High Street which sold their own vitamin formulations as well as other health-food products.

It wasn’t long before others took note of G&G’s success with their high-strength vitamins and multivitamins and the supplement market grew considerably. As the market grew so did David’s place in it and he continued to be a pioneer and advocate for the industry while concentrating on providing nutritional data and research information from around the world to practitioners, nutritionists and clinics in the UK and Europe. Under David G&G quickly established an enviable reputation, both for the information and research it was able to supply and the high quality of its products.

In 1987 G&G moved to larger premises and began to manufacture its own label vitamins for the first time. With David’s leadership the demand for G&G’s own-brand label and manufacturing expertise grew dramatically and in 1997 they moved to a 31,000 square foot factory and built a customised cleanroom for optimum high speed production lines. It was from here that G&G expanded its contract manufacturing arm, building up to the current capacity.
