Olympic gold medallist Jade Jones has invested a significant sum in a UK wellness company, HempWell Ltd. The investment, made by Jones' firm JJ Double Gold, will propel the York-based CBD business forward over the next three years. Jones, who began her own CBD brand in July, expressed her enthusiasm for joining the venture. Jones, known as the Headhunter, is a Welsh taekwondo athlete who won Team GB's first Olympic medal at the London 2012 Games and retained it four years later in Rio de Janeiro.
She has also appeared on various television shows. Lisa McWilliams, HempWell's CEO, stated that this collaboration marks a significant milestone for the firm and initiates an exciting new phase. Despite HempWell's reputation, it is currently overdue for a confirmation statement with Companies House. The UK's hemp and CBD market is among the largest in Europe, with a value nearing £1bn. CBD products, including drinks, oils, and edibles, are widely available in stores.
