Hemcore is the UK's largest grower & processor of hemp British farmers are growing on contract to Hemcore around 8000 acres (2009) of Industrial Hemp, a plant from the Cannabis family with a virtually zero drug content.
Hemp, once grown widely across the UK to produce fiber for the sails & rigging of the sailing fleet has been revived by Hemcore & is now rapidly becoming a vital raw material for the industries of today, such as automobile manufacturers, construction & (believe it or not) coal burning electrical companies.
By combining modern technology with long established and traditional lime based building products, Lime Technology has grown into the largest and most respected organisation of its kind.
Ian has written numerous articles and papers on the use of lime and sustainable masonry in both historic and modern buildings & is a respected authority on the subject of lime and lectures widely on the subject as well as putting this into mainstream commercial practice.
