As reported in the Herald Express of Devon on October 17th, 2009, Valcent Products Inc. (“The Company”) announced British Parliamentary backing of the Company’s new VerticropTM vertical farming System developed by Valcent Products (eu) Limited (“VEU”) per the attached news release. A petition has been tabled at Westminster by Adrian Sanders MP, praising VEU for developing the plant growing system. The Petition is backed by several British MP’s who recognize the considerable potential offered by 20-fold increases in crop yields which could reduce the demand for field crops. The petition also calls for the British Government to support the systems wherever possible including recognition that products produced by the system are organic and should not be prevented from being described as such.
In addition, the Company announced Chris Bradford, currently Managing Director of VEU, has been appointed the President, Chief Executive Officer, and a Director of Valcent Products Inc. Mr. Bradford has worked within the agricultural sector continuously over the last 35 years in senior management positions in both large companies and smaller ventures.
Chris Bradford joined Bradford & Sons Ltd., a family business post education, ultimately managing the Company’s Crop Services Division, supplying agricultural and horticultural markets in the South West of England. Immigrating to Canada in 1977, Mr. Bradford worked at senior management level for three leading Canadian farm supply businesses, eventually setting up his own consulting business specialising in project management for start up companies in North America. Returning to the UK in 1996, Mr. Bradford joined the UK Government’s Business Link organization as a Business Development Adviser before returning to consulting in 2002, latterly developing the business plan and start-up strategy for Valcent Products (EU) Limited; he joined the Company on a full time basis as Managing Director in April 2007.
In addition, the Company announces certain appointments to the Company’s subsidiary interest, Valcent Products (eu) Limited per the attached news release.
