Cannabis oils business set to hit six-figure revenues in first year

A Bramhall mum-of-two is heading for turnover in excess of £100,000 in the first year of her cannabis oils business.

Clare Hales, 42, founded Synerva CBD Oils after her husband Jason’s experience following a serious cycling accident which left him with critical injuries, including a broken back.

The family turned to cannabidiol (CBD oil) to change his recovery prognosis and the results launched a new business venture.

Clare said: “For some time my brother Neil had been showing and telling us both about the benefits and life-changing properties of CBD oil, we had both given it a bit of a brush-off until the accident.

“Jason finally asked me to bring him some CBD oil and to give it a try as he was slowly recovering from the operation.

“We were both fairly skeptical, but the outcomes resulted in a life-changing few weeks for us all.”

Jason attributes his recovery and the fact he is now cycling more than two hundred miles a week again down to his use of CBD oils: “I owe my recovery to cannabidiol.

“It was the game-changer that turned my initial gloomy prognosis into a much brighter one.

“I was told I would never cycle again, but now less than two years later I am back on my bike like the accident never happened.

“Both Clare and I knew we’d stumbled across something very special and she began to launch the business from my bedside.”

Clare, previously a key account manager at Kraft Foods, wanted to return to work after her time away to raise her young family, but said she always wanted to do something she was truly passionate about – and CBD oils now offers her that.

And, after founding her legal cannabis e-commerce business, she is also aiming to drive quality, safety and traceability across the industry.

She said: “I knew when I had seen the life-changing abilities of the oils first-hand I needed to share our story and help other people see the benefits, too.

“I also wanted to make sure in launching the company that we assisted in the safety of the industry and help push towards more regulation.”

CBD oil is legal in the UK due to it not containing THC – the part of the cannabis plant that makes you high.

However, it is only legal currently as a food supplement and businesses cannot make any medicinal claims.

Clare said: “I am determined to help change the face of the industry.

“I want people to realise that I am a very normal mum-of-two. I am clearly no drug dealer, and by no means do the products we sell get anyone high.

“What we do offer is products that are safe and of real quality, and I advise anyone keen to purchase CBD oil that they do so from a reputable supplier or business.

“As the popularity of CBD Oil grows, so does the number of rogue traders. I am very passionate about being known as a seller where all our products have laboratory analysis reports and come with full traceability, from seed to bottle.”

She added: “Business is definitely booming.

“From our CBD gum drops to our ever-growing range of oils, body balm and massage oils, we can’t get our orders out of the door quick enough.

“All our oils are sourced from the largest vertically-integrated hemp farm in the USA and we are passionate about ensuring our customers get the very best products on the market.”

She said less than a year after launching their self-funded business from their Bramhall home it is on course for revenues of more than £100,000.
