A Whitley Bay business selling products made from seaweed is expanding across the UK as people embrace a more plant-based diet. Seaweed & Co., founded by marine biologist Dr Craig Rose, sells a range of culinary oils infused with seaweed and seaweed nutritional supplements in Holland and Barrett and Sainsbury’s stores nationwide. Craig, 40, who founded Seaweed & Co. thanks to a £25,000 Virgin StartUp Loan, supplied food and nutrition manufacturers with a range of seaweed products before launching his own consumer-facing brand, Doctor Seaweed’s Weed and Wonderful, last year.
