## From the administrators' statement

The Company was incorporated on 15 November 2016 to manufacture a unique botanical drink. The Company traded from its registered office at Bischeim House.

At the start of 2020 the business was achieving £50,000 per month in sales, with a customer base of over 450 buyers, including large distributors, national supermarket chains, hotels, restaurants and bars. The Company also developed a healthy business in California 120 customers and growing) and was building distribution on mainland Europe via wholesalers and Amazon, whilst looking at expanding the global distribution.

However, following Brexit and new import duties in Europe, most non-UK sales were lost, therefore the running costs of the business and sales team had to be dramatically reduced. With the arrival of Covid and subsequent multiple lockdowns, half of the business (which was in “on trade") was quickly lost and did not recover post-Covid.
