Science in Sport plc (AIM: SIS), the premium performance nutrition company serving elite athletes, sports enthusiasts and the gym lifestyle community, is pleased to announce the appointment of Andy Bott in the newly created role of Group Supply Chain Director.

Andy joins Science in Sport from The Hut Group where he was Group Manufacturing Director for Food & Beauty, a role that included responsiblilty for the three manufacturing sites of Myprotein, the world's largest online protein brand.

Prior to The Hut Group, Andy held senior roles with Glanbia Performance Nutrition and Adams Food Ingredients.

As Science in Sport's Group Supply Chain Director, Andy will hold international responsibility for the strategic and operational aspects of the PhD and SiS supply chains, including the manufacturing and e-commerce fulfilment operations in Nelson, Lancashire.

Science in Sport has identified significant growth opportunities for the Group over the next few years, which will be underpinned by robust supply chain management.
