With their projected growth they are planning to expand very rapidly both within the UK and overseas and their vision is to be the leading indoor farming company in the world.
Due to this impressive commercial ambition they are now actively coming to the market place via Redfox to look for key individuals to join their truly unique business and enhance their careers in this highly important and innovative food sector.
