The Company is proposing to acquire the Gusbourne Estates Business and related Freehold Property based near Ashford, Kent. On Admission it is proposed that the name of Shellproof PLC will be changed to Gusbourne PLC.

The Company expects to be producing, at full maturity, grapes sufficient for the production of approximately 500,000 bottles of wine per annum.
