Guess it's very dificult to recover when a big customer knocks you. The margin just isnt there and increasing costs of energy, minimum wage and NI are the nail in the coffin. Hopefully Mike and the team can rise from the ashes.

I would imagine that high energy costs ,minimum wage and NI increases were the final straw . I would imagine many commercial nurseries will be in the same position.
