Blue Sky Botanics celebrates 20 Years

Blue Sky Botanics, a botanical extracts grower and supplier based in the heart of Herefordshire, is celebrating 20 years of innovation and success. This purpose-led company has remained true to its founding mission: to harness the power of plants and deliver natural ingredients that are effective, high quality, and ethically sourced.

Founded by the late James Lambe alongside his wife Emma, current Managing Director Caroline Brevitt, and Site Manager James Preece, Blue Sky Botanics was born in response to growing demand for authentic botanical extracts. Before launching the company, James and Emma were growing and processing fresh herbs for the food industry on their award-winning organic farm in Herefordshire, the very site where Blue Sky Botanics continues to thrive today.

James Lambe had a remarkable vision. He anticipated a future where consumers would demand complete transparency from field to factory, and where ethical practices would become essential throughout the supply chain for both food and cosmetic ingredients. Bringing together James’s drive for fair economic development with Caroline’s Scientific and Technical expertise, the team saw an opportunity to blend traditional plant knowledge with modern green technology, delivering high-quality natural extracts for the food, beverage, and cosmetics sectors. What began as a small, passionate team has since grown into a trusted global partner.

A key part of their social impact journey has been their long-standing partnership with Frank Water. Over the years, they have supported numerous Frank Water campaigns, helping to fund critical water and sanitation projects across India and Nepal. From rowing over 250,000 meters in 2023 to countless bake sales and office challenges, the team is always ready to roll up their sleeves and support the cause.

As Blue Sky Botanics enters its third decade, it’s more committed than ever to expanding its botanical expertise, championing sustainability, and making a lasting difference through products and partnerships. Here’s to the next 20 years!
