After the trauma and tragedy of the motorcycle collision in 1993, which saw Heather Mills have her leg amputated, she turned to veganism as a way to support her recovery and healing. Since then she has become a strong advocate and influencer in matters relating to veganism and plant-based products.
This led to the creation of her VBites Food business, which is one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of meat-free, fish-free, and dairy-free plant-based alternatives, currently servicing 24 countries.
Expanding on her plant-based mission, Heather has also created a vegan algal oil business, V-Omega3, vegan makeup business, B@One. Heather has also provided investment into many plant-based start-ups as part of her ‘VBites Ventures’ portfolio.
