Heather Mills’s VBites vegan food firm collapses into administration

Mills says factors including ‘corporate greed’, Brexit, and utility and ingredients prices played a part

Heather Mills’s vegan food business, VBites, has collapsed into administration after failing to secure fresh funding amid rising cost pressures.

The entrepreneur and former model, who founded the company in 1993, said the collapse was “extremely distressing” and had been forced upon her by a “combination of corporate greed and poor management, the cost of living crisis, price rises in the global ingredients and utilities markets, and the current state of the manufacturing economy in Britain”.
