Sir Paul McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills’ has confirmed the collapse of her meat-free food company of 30 years, VBites. The vegan firm is set to go into administration with 112 jobs at risk.<\/p>\n
A “devastated” Heather blamed the closure firmly at the hands of “corporate greed” and “misinformation” in an announcement on social media and her website.<\/p>\n
She wrote: “It’s with regret that VBites Foods, a company very dear to my heart, is entering into administration. I offered every solution I feasibly could to keep it going.<\/p>\n
“Sadly VBites ultimately fell victim to the galvanised misinformation currently being undertaken by the meat and dairy industries as well as the corporate greed in our market.”<\/p>\n
Heather, who also paid tribute to workers at the firm who had put “blood, sweat and tears” into the company, also blamed inflation and Brexit for the business’ demise.<\/p>\n
