He also denied a single charge of possessing over 2,300 items of criminal property including clothing and jewellery relating to the same business.

It is alleged the offences occurred between March 8 and March 27 last year.

Judge Andrew Easteal adjourned Mr Chamberlain’s case for a trial at Lincoln Crown Court in November.

The trial is expected to last two days.

The court heard Mrs Chamberlain pleaded guilty pleas to 21 charges of using an unauthorised trademark and possessing items of criminal property when she appeared at Boston Magistrates Court earlier this year.

Mrs Chamberlain will be sentenced at a later date, following the preparation of a probation report.

The pair were granted unconditional bail until they next appear in court.
