Korda clearly is a commercial company and operates how any company would. But I do believe Embryo is trying to do the right thing. It's clear that Danny has put a lot of money into it and is getting no return on that. He doesn't have to, I don't see the owners of any other fishing brand doing anything similar.
Embryo also provide fencing services at discounted rates for clubs.
I may not always agree with how they manage waters (getting rid of weed in particular) but I do think they've done a lot to preserve some great carp fishing without profit as a primary goal.

100% korda have pumped millions into it with little to no return
On the investment no other company would do that ever
Korda is a great company started from nothing employees people in the UK
And Europe. Creating jobs and paying tax into the system
An everything in-between. Hats off to korda
In an ever changing world of ups and downs they keep going
Looking at it in a business sense I think it's amazing
You need to understand what it takes . you have to admire
It .. I do ..

You guys talking like it's all being done at some massive loss just for the good of carp fishing do realise that land is about the best investment that there is, right? No one is losing any money whatsoever. They are far to clever for that. Rich people buy land. It's a smart investment. It promotes generational wealth, not for a quick return.
Not implying Danny, or Korda, but that's how REALLY rich people keep their money & pay very little tax. You buy assets, tie the money up, then you often borrow on those assets. Danny will be most interested in how to pass his earned wealth onto his children. And so he should too.
Yes Korda are doing a lot to secure lakes. They are the without question the best fishing company around. Good luck to them. They have earned all that. But don't try to kid people that it's all for nothing, like some kind of charity, as that is simply not true whatsoever. It's not getting you moved up the waiting list any quicker haha. Intelligent people do not invest money for nothing.
Danny is clearly an intelligent person. Good luck to him, he deserves it. It's been earnt.

I'll stand to be corrected, but I'm pretty sure that I have heard DF say that the Embryo waters will be held in a non-profit trust when he shuffles off and not passed on to his family.
Having said that I'm sure his millions£ invested and owed to him by Embryo works out well as a tax write off...............

This was to show transparency in the waiting list , if you are number 10 on the list , people who know the bailiffs will not jump in front of you, unlike other waters ! Works well ðŸ‘

Waiting lists dont do that though you dont no who gets on.

Must be a lot of anglers willing to pay as it seems all the Embryo waters waiting lists are closed.

You do if your on that lake and you see who joins ! As I say the waiting, lists on Embryo waters are transparent and those at the top will get on those waters, depending on how many leave of course !

They open up around April/May time. I put myself down on a couple last year and now just waiting 🤞

There is quite a high turnover on Embryo waters from what I understand. Not because of anything negative but due to people taking a relatively cheap ticket up and never fishing the venue and leaving at first renewal and also thinking £40 is nothing to get on a list but then not taking up the option when their name comes up.
I think they try to keep the waiting lists so they are roughly, no longer than five years long. I put my name down for one a couple of seasons ago. My name moved up 35 places on the list, just before the start of last season. I'm now in the low 50's, so I doubt I'll get in this season, unless a large amount of people leave. Fingers crossed, though!
