Mate of mine uses their stuff, sure he ordered some recently. Not for me, I like to do my own grub, but it is very, very good food!

Just seen on insta he's stopping running it, never used it or saw the point of it but must have a good client base to last this long

Didn't take him long to realise working in the fishing industry doesn't always mean more time to go fishing...

But good luck Scott in what ever you decide to do in the future.

Good luck to him, always struck me as a good guy and he deserves respect for having given it a go.

Tbh, I'm not sure if that is why he's selling it. I think he's done quite well out of it and wants to cash in.

Good luck to him regardless

I've used it many a time, really good food quality and concept. Don't end up wasting food or over eating because of it and handy can just pack when it arrives. Hope someone else buys it and continues with it.

Not being judgmental, but looking at the accounts, they are £120k in debt, Scott is no longer a director and the website says they are closed until further notice.

Make of that what you will.

If you have seen Scott's insta posts he has had to make the decision on health grounds, in particular his mental health, (although he does hint at something else).

He has been quite open in the past about having mental health issues (as well as other problems) so to do what he has can't have been easy, he will feel as though he has let a lot of people down no doubt.

Comes across as a genuinely nice guy. I suspect that fishing keeps his head straight and the fact that he wasn't doing anywhere near as much angling took it's toll.

Good luck to him.

Tuff game the food industry, especially when you narrow your market.

its all about procurement and amounts to get prices down, then of course, the knock on affects of said amounts

Yeah it's not easy, he was effectively HelloFresh for anglers to start with, although as you say that left a very narrow market really in the grand scheme of things. I did however rate the food I had a few times, liked the fact I didn't waste anything etc. However the way the economy is going sadly it was always going to be the luxuries like that that felt it most. Many will have gone back to their pot noodles 😂😂
