AN Edinburgh-based equity fund is to up its investment in a pioneering food and drink brand which makes products from hemp seed.
Through its combined fund and investor club stake, Inverleith LLP has moved to majority ownership of Braham and Murray Good Hemp, a firm founded by Henry Braham and Glynis Murray at their Devon farm.
The couple launched their first ‘Good Oil’ in 2004. The firm now produces several hemp-based products, including a milk alternative, natural protein supplements and protein flours.
Inverleith LLP managing partner, Paul Skipworth, said: “Good Hemp is firmly placed to take advantage of the high growth plant-based food and drink trend, with high quality hemp based products which are nutritionally rich, whilst being manufactured from a sustainable plant. Supported by the Inverleith LLP experience and expertise, combined with its further investment, we believe Good Hemp is perfectly positioned to reach new consumers and continue to flourish both in the UK and internationally.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
