From the administrators' statement
Lorne Fisheries Limited (“Lorne” or the “Company”) operated under the trading name “Inverawe Smokehouses” and specialised in the processing and sale of various fish, smoked fish and game products, primarily through its online ecommerce platform. The majority of goods sold were third-party products direct to consumer, although the Company also supplied a small number of trade customers, including the high-street retailer “COOK”.
Founded in 1974 as a fish farm on the Inverawe Estate, the Company evolved into an award-winning gourmet smoked fish specialist, trading as Inverawe Smokehouses. Over the years, it built a strong reputation for its smoked fish paté and Scottish produce hampers, supplying delicatessens, farm shops, supermarkets and direct mail customers across the UK.
Prior to the pre-appointment transaction the Company employed seven staff.
