From the administrators' statement
The information below has been taken from the proposals prepared in relation to the subsidiary undertaking, Burleighs Gin Limited, which is also in administration. This information has been prepared from a statement provided by the director of the Company, information contained within the Company’s accounts and at Companies House. Whilst this information is a duplicate of the information provided for Burleighs Gin Limited, because the two entities are so inter-related, it is considered to be helpful to creditors in allowing them to understand how the group operated. The Joint Administrators will carry out their own investigations to verify the reasons for the Company's insolvency provided by the director.
Extract from Proposals for Burleighs Gin Limited — in administration
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.
