Two companies run by businesswoman, animal rights activist and former model Heather Mills have bought a vegan food factory out of administration. Vegan Solo Consulting and Duo Renovations have bought the manufacturing facilities and equipment of Plant & Bean in Boston, Lincs. Ms Mills is a director of both firms which are based out of Brighton.
Plant & Bean called in administrators at the end of May due to the "immense pressures" of rising costs – primarily affecting raw materials and energy prices. The business, founded in 2019, has a 125,000 sq ft factory manufacturing for the likes of Quorn, Princes, and Wicked Kitchen.
Its Boston site has facilities to make meat-free products ranging from mince to sausages, burgers, nuggets, cutlets and slices.
