## From the administrators' statement

The information below has been prepared from a statement provided by the director of the Company, information contained within the Company’s accounts and at Companies House. The Joint Administrators will carry out their own investigations to verify the reasons for the Company's insolvency provided by the director.

The Company was formed in 2016 by Phil Burley and Graham Veitch in order to establish a gin brand, Burleighs, to capitalise on the growing trend of artisan distilleries producing gin within the UK. This was at the time that gin had established itself as the fastest growing spirit in the drinks industry and it was felt this would provide a strong commercial opportunity.
