From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 14 November 2002 as a crabmeat processing business selling shelled, cooked and packaged crab meat primarily to UK wholesalers. The Company
has been wholly owned by Mr Brian Underwood since its incorporation with Mr Underwood and his wife, Mrs Mandy Underwood, being the only Directors.
In September 2011, the Company purchased its current base of operations for £180,000 plus VAT and commenced a major refit of the site, some of which was funded by grant money. The re-fit of the site proved to be a costly and lengthy process with the business only relocating to the site in May 2016 from its former inefficient and expensive teased site on Plymouth dockside.
