From the administrators' statement
The below statement has been approved by the Company’s director.
The Company was incorporated in April 2022 and began trading in June 2022 following a purchase of assets from LLB Realisations Limited — in Administration, formerly, Love Lane Brewing Ltd. The Company operated as a bar and kitchen whilst also brewing its own range of products. Annexed to the bar and kitchen was the Company’s brewery facility which was available for guided tours and experiences. An event space was also available for hire at the Company’s premises.
There was a robust plan in place but issues with HM Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) stifled this plan in Q3, 2022. The Company dealt with most of these issues, and subsequently, raised more finance whilst making good progress.
