Exclusive: Ex-Asda boss Clarke stages Farmison rescue deal
A consortium led by former Asda chief executive Andy Clarke has bought online grocer Farmison out of administration and is aiming to rebuild the business.
Clarke, who will be executive chair, teamed up with entrepreneurs Gareth Whittle, Christian Barton and Kieron Barton – best known for their success in building the Rekorderlig cider brand in the UK – to mount a rescue of Farmison.
Whittle was also a board member of Farmison before it collapsed into administration earlier this month, with the loss of 75 jobs.
