Heather is a passionate believer in the benefits of a plant-based diet and is delighted to announce the acquisition of The Redwood Wholefood Company. 

 

Redwood is an award-winning producer of natural plant-based, animal-free foods whose products have been a major feature in Heather’s shopping basket for many years.

 

Massively impressed by the Redwood brand, its ethics and integrity, Heather is dedicated to forwarding the Redwood brand as they share mutual compassionate ideals.  It became clear in meetings with the company that their values and goals are in complete accord. 

 

Heather and Redwood’s core belief is to spread compassion across the planet and promote a healthy, ethical lifestyle.  This synergy will accelerate the growth of the Redwood brand and allow Heather to promote and develop cruelty free plant based food worldwide through her newly launched Vbites restaurant and brand which is proving to be hugely popular since its UK launch.  This is truly a dynamic team with huge potential for the future. 

 

Appearing on GMTV all those years ago, singing the praises of how her diet transformed her life.  Heather’s passion and belief is now stronger than ever.  The pressing realities of declining fish stocks, animal cruelty, deforestation and global warming making plant based living not only significant to the health of each individual but to the health of our planet as a whole.

 

Cutting down on global meat consumption is fast becoming one of the major issues of our time.  Everything in the Redwood range is totally free from animal ingredients and derivatives as well as cholesterol, lactose, hydrogenated fats and GMOs.  Redwood foods are ideal for vegetarians, vegans and anyone looking for a healthier and more ethical lifestyle.

 

The Redwood range includes Cheatin’ ‘meats’ in ‘bacon’, ‘chicken’ and ‘beef’ varieties, meat-free ‘roasts’, gourmet burgers, pâtés, ready-to-eat sausages, fish-style fingers and dairy-free ‘cheese’.

 

Redwood has been ranked number one for the third year running by the Ethical Company Organisation’s list of vegetarian foods suppliers.  Over 50 different animal-free foods are developed under the brand names Cheatin’, VegiDeli and Cheezly at its headquarters in Corby, Northamptonshire.

 

Redwood director Keith Stott said

“although the company had been approached by many potential suitors, Heather’s values most closely aligned with Redwood’s. “

 

Heather said

“she was absolutely delighted to have acquired the company.” “I’ve been a fan of Redwood and its ethical, compassionate foods for many years,” she commented. “For me, buying the company is a dream come true.”

 

“Redwood had the same beliefs and goals as Heather, they had different skills. “We are completely compatible,” he said. “We will make a dynamic team. Her efforts to promote health, compassion and to care for the planet though a vegan lifestyle are well known and fit exactly with the values held by Redwood.”
