From the administrators' statement
The Company was founded in 2015 by its managing director, Heather McDonald and operated as a boutique craft beer brewery business. The business produced a core range of five craft beers, but frequently added seasonal products to its range.
The business and its production line are located at Upper Hempriggs Farm, Kinloss, Scotland, a 6.2-acre owned premises with a 16,000 sq. ft. facility. At the date of the Administrators’ appointment, the Company employed 14 staff.
The products were sold both locally and exported internationally. A key focus for the Company in the year leading to the Administrators’ appointment (post UK lockdown) was establishing trade channels to China.
