Our doors are now closed...
I think I have gone through all possible combinations of emotions in the last 3 years at Cargill’s. It’s with great heartache that the lasting one could be sadness, as I announce the closure of the business with immediate effect.
We opened our own version of Cargill’s 7months before COVID struck. Grand plans and great ideas were almost instantly blinded by the struggle to survive, which has loomed over us since.
When venturing out in 2019, I had no idea that we were not only creating a business and following my dream, but that we were also creating a family. Built from our amazing team and our loyal customers.
I have really really REALLY tried to keep our family together, making personal sacrifices that most will never know, to maintain and build on our achievements and where we’ve come so far.
BUT, although it’s not dominating the headlines anymore, the legacy of the COVID pandemic is very real. Trading out of these significant liabilities was likely, but made impossible with the new challenges from the impact of the current situation in Eastern Europe and the unfortunate attitude of the good old HMRC.
I’d like to give the warmest of thanks to staff, customers, family and friends that have helped make this venture possible in the first place, and have made every effort and supported since.
Our email account ([email protected]) and page will still be active for a while if anyone has any questions, wants to get in touch, or wants my personal email etc.
There’s a chance I might start something new in the future. Watch this space.
But for now, myself and around 15 other experienced individuals are looking for jobs if anyone is hiring?
Respectfully yours,
Thomas Young
