From the administrators' statement
The following Company History has been provided by the director, Mark Hensby
The Company was incorporated by Mark Hensby in September 2008 after he retired from the financial services industry. Mark wanted to invest his time into a new venture and had spoken to his contacts in the leisure industry to ascertain if it would be an industry worth entering into.
Mark started by working in a real ale public house to gain experience, working in the kitchen which he then managed. From here, he noticed the rise of the microbrewery and sought advice as to whether to invest his personal cash in setting up his own brewery At the time there were only two micro breweries in Merseyside and it seemed that this was the opportunity that he had been waiting for.
