Seagreens® founding idea was to make it easy for anyone to include at least a gram a day of the most nutritious seaweed in their daily diet - as it says on the jar, to “Feed the Foundation of Health”.

The company is now “the UK’s leading seaweed supplier” (Organic & Natural Business magazine, 2009). Over the past 12 years the brand has gained the respect of consumers, retailers, medical practitioners and the media.

With many years’ experience in this unusual field, Seagreens® has set a standard for sustainable harvesting and production which exceeds European and US Organic Standards.

As a British company, based near London’s Gatwick Airport in West Sussex, it has independent distribution in the United States of America, and direct sales to retailers and clinics in Europe.

Its first subsidiary in Sweden - Seagreens AB - manages the business in Scandinavia and the Baltic countries.

The company has developed manufacturing competence through joint ventures in Arctic Lapland and the Scottish Highlands, adhering to Biodynamic® principles of food production.

Hebridean Seagreens Ltd is the first and sole British producer of human food quality seaweed with full Organic status and HACCP manufacturing certification.

The British Government, the Weight Foundation and the company’s own Brand Partners have funded the first original scientific research into seaweed as a healthy food ingredient.

Seagreens® Certified Ingredients are increasingly to be found in the products of other food and healthcare manufacturers.

Behind all this is a corporate determination to produce a healthier kind of business, the personal mission of founder Simon Ranger. He believes that like good wholesome food, work is a basic necessity which should help produce balance, stability and integrity at the heart of daily life.  

“I would like to see a unity of purpose in all we do which no longer separates the means of production from the product, or the whole human being from his means of survival.

Our products can help restore and maintain the health of the whole person; our corporate mission is to nurture the whole person in and through our business.

The illusion that the values we uphold in business and personal life are incompatible - or that there is one time and place for the sacred and another for the profane - is not for me.

Beyond the illusion of separation I perceive a more joyous reality in which the relationship between all things is apparent - for me, the presence of God.”
