Salary: Up to £20,000 dependent on experience
From humble beginnings in a dining room to 4 years on now occupying 6 Grade-II*Listed railway arches in the city centre, we are one of the most exciting and one of the most awarded drinks brands in the country. We started making gin, but since then have expanded our range to include 6 gins, a vodka, a vermouth as well as opening a fully immersive distillery, bar and restaurant.

This small, family-run business has seen huge success over the past three years and has even bigger ambitions for the next three, which means there’s lots of room to grow and develop both personally and professionally.
