However, this was ultimately unsuccessful and the investment, combined with labour issues and rising energy costs, meant the companies could not meet their financial obligations and they were forced to enter administration. As the companies sought to grow further, they invested significant capital into a proposal for a new glasshouse development on a greenfield site. The firms have over 40 years’ growing experience, during which time they have established a strong market reputation and solid customer book. Their clients include retailers, wholesalers and food service companies and they are the sole supplier of curly leaf lettuce to several major UK supermarket chains. The companies specialise in glasshouse-grown lettuce and herbs, utilising advanced hydroponic growing processes. FRP Advisory’s Philip Armstrong and Steve Baluchi were appointed as joint administrators of Fresh Willow Ltd and Madestein (UK) Ltd on April 11. Administrators are seeking buyers for a Chichester-based hydroponic salad growing business after a pair of companies fell into administration.
