Lee Mallett is the founder of B-S-B Genetics, an established hemp seed distributor in the United Kingdom. The company originally began as a joke but quickly gained customer traction and quickly took off.

Originally a retailer selling smoking accessories Lee began stocking seeds in addition to paraphernalia. He quickly discovered that he needed to stock more and more.

By 2014, the revamped “BSB Genetics” was launched with great contacts for sourcing the world's best seeds.
