British Honey Company confirms end of List Distillery partnership

Honey and craft spirits producer British Honey Company confirmed on Wednesday that the extended collaboration agreement with Florida-based List Distillery, first announced in June last year, ended on 28 December.

The Aquis Stock Exchange-traded firm said its main focus was on its growing domestic operations within the UK.

“In light of this, the British Honey Company board has resolved not to pursue a transaction with List Distillery but to focus its resources, at this time, on the rapidly recovering and growing UK spirits market,” the board said in its statement.

“Accordingly, both List Distillery and British Honey Company will work collaboratively through the details of the unwinding of the agreement over the coming weeks, whilst maintaining a normal commercial transactional relationship.”

The British Honey Company said it would update the market on its full-year trading early in 2022.
