Simply Nutrition are a UK-based consultancy offering advice and coaching in the field of sports and health nutrition.

Increasing Search Ranking for keyterms within the field of nutrition has proven an effective route to market inc. the present #2 Google position for Nutrition Consultant

Lucy-Ann (Founder) says…. “I have 2 amazing people on the “Simply Nutrition Web Team” – one of which is Ian Rhodes. Since coming on board in early 2010, Ian has been integral during some major site changes, setting the groundwork to ensure optimum traffic generation and SEO. However, his extensive experience, skills and knowledge also mean he’s been a vital part in highlighting and improving the customer experience or “end-user” experience of the site. I’ve been extremely impressed with Ian’s knowledge, professionalism, explanations and perspective on the technical and business aspects of http://www.simply-nutrition.co.uk. As an added bonus, Ian is one of the nicest people you will ever want to work with!“
