## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated on 11 July 2016 initially providing quality vegan food from a market stall which then developed to events, pop ups and festivals. Crowdfunding resulted in the first restaurant opening in Shoreditch in March 2018.

A head office and production site was opened in Leyton in October 2018 which began creating products sold in the restaurants, as well as developing products which were sold to retailers worldwide. A restaurant in Canary Wharf opened in December 2018.

Record sales were recorded in the last few months of 2019 and the first two months of 2020 however, the Company fully closed both restaurants and production during the first Covid-19 pandemic lockdown and staff were furloughed. Once the lockdown restrictions eased the restaurants reopened and the Company opened a further restaurant in Brighton in July 2020. Due to hybrid working and changes to working from home post Covid-19 Canary Wharf struggled to reach the same number of customers that it had pre-Covid.
