The core strategy is to capitalize on the high-growth pharmaceutical cannabinoid sector. Celadon has built a high-value platform, including a 100,000 sq. ft GMP certified facility with indoor cultivation and processing capabilities, which creates significant regulatory barriers to entry (a "regulatory moat") for competitors.
Celadon's business model is focused on profitable revenue generation through multiple revenue pathways:
- Women's Health (Endometriosis): Targeting a £1.4 billion market.
- Chronic Pain Programme (LVL Health): A 100% owned Celadon company with the only fully approved MHRA and NHS clinical programme using Cannabis-Based Products for Medicinal use (CBPMs), targeting the £58 billion chronic pain market.
- Semi-Synthetic Delta-9 (THC) - CLD-927: Targeting a £3 billion global market for applications like anti-nausea and appetite boosting
