The boss of a shop in Sherwood selling vegan and gluten-free products has expressed his sadness following the administration of a wholesaler he described as ‘one of the best’. Administrators have been appointed following the financial collapse of Health Stores (Wholesale) Limited, based at Blenheim Park Road, in Bulwell, and Tree of Life UK in Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Across the two sites, 143 members of staff have been made redundant. The Health Store, one of the leading health food wholesalers, supplied customers through the UK, Europe and Asia.
It was the main supplier for The V Spot, a Sherwood vegan shop in Mansfield Road, since the latter opened six years ago. V Spot owner Adrian Bhagat said it was a real shame and he spoke about how it was likely to have an impact on his business.
