From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 12 August 2019 by Mira Hyams-Merme (“the CEO”) as a vertical farm business with ambitions to grow fresh food in a controlled pesticide and chemical free environment, selling edible vegetation to local populations through wholesale distributors.
Based in the Netherlands, the CEO, who has substantial experience in the agri-food and financial services industry across the UK and Europe, launched this venture in the UK due to the increased need for local food production and the impact of climate change, water scarcity and soil erosion.
The Company operated from Unit 1, St Leger Drive, Newmarket Business Park, CB8 7DT (“Newmarket Premises”), comprising of a 10-metre-high warehouse, along with two fenced loading bays, and 6,530 sq. metres of ground space.
