Secretariat to the APPG for Industrial Hemp & CBD products, Tenacious Labs is an international consumer products group focusing on previously unlicensed categories including plant-based CBD. 

Founded and registered in the UK in 2020, the group owns a stable of brands in Britain and North America covering different audience segments from Lifestyle to Recreation and Wellbeing; as well as a dedicated manufacturing arm that offers co-packing and white labelling services to third parties. 

Tenacious Labs is chaired by Adrian Clarke, with Nick Morland as CEO and General Sir Nick Parker, former Commander of the British Land Forces, is a board director. For several years the company has been working closely with the Government of Jersey which has paved the way, under the watchful gaze of the UK Home Office, for fit-for-purpose CBD regulations. Jersey has amended legislation to enable professional services firms to do business with legal cannabis sectors in other geographies without falling foul of the Proceeds of Crime Act. In June 2020 its Government set up a Cannabis Services Advisory Board and appointed the CEO of Tenacious Labs, Nick Morland, as its first chair.

The Secretariat works for the APPG at the direction of the co-chairs, Crispin Blunt MP and Ronnie Cowan MP. It provides a singular voice for the industry, and delivers research, reports and advice on industry advances and funding for events.
