This year has been a challenging one for us with the UK economy plagued with ongoing difficulties and the British pound at all time lows. Thankfully, we have witnessed consumers' loyalty to the Clearspring brand. The quality we offer has guaranteed our continued presence and growth in the marketplace, even in such recessionary times. Today, Clearspring sources authentic foods from organic producers in ten different countries and is offering them in thirty-one countries.

We welcome 2010 as an opportunity to expand our distribution and reach more consumers worldwide with foods that have been sustainably produced using wholesome and primarily organic ingredients.

I thank every one of you for your ongoing support and wish you a great festive season.

Best wishes,

Christopher Dawson

Founder
