From the administrators' statement
This section of the proposals has been prepared based on information provided by the Director of the Company.
The Company’s activities revolved around the provision of distilled gin and rum products in various forms and events such as Gin Schools.
Neil Harrison commenced trading as “Nelson’s Gin” in 2016 from a small unit at Grindley Business Village, Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, initially launching with the Nelson’s London Dry No? Gin. Whilst this gin was not unique, it was considered unusual in that it is made from 27 botanicals. Mr Harrison, Nelson’s owner and Master Distiller, was a master chef by profession.
