From the administrators' statement
The Company was incorporated on 6 May 2022 and was set up to launch a high end, luxury candle brand. Katherine Wood (“the Director”) was appointed on the Company's inception.
The Director initially started to make candles as a hobby in 2020 and found out that the candles began to be popular amongst friends and family. Along with this, the Director studied perfumery and decided to incorporate her studies with this hobby into a business venture.
During 2022 and 2023, the Director was approached by the owners of Thomas Pink Shirtmaker Limited (‘Thomas Pink”) to manufacture high-end candles form then and they offered the Company funding to start up. This opportunity also became part of Blue Thread Group (“BTG”), Thomas Pink’s parent company.
