Who owns East London Liquor?

Answered by Robert Golston

East London Liquor Co is owned by a group of individuals, myself included. I founded the distillery almost 7 years ago with the vision of creating high-quality that celebrate the rich history and culture of East London. Since then, we have grown and expanded our offerings, but our commitment to producing exceptional spirits remains the same.

As the founder, I have been deeply involved in every aspect of the business, from the initial concept and design of the distillery to the development of our product range. I am passionate about distilling and have dedicated countless hours to perfecting our recipes and techniques.

However, I am not the sole owner of East London Liquor Co. Over the years, I have brought on board a team of investors who share my vision and believe in the potential of the business. These investors come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the table.

One of our key investors is the Co, a prominent pub group in London. Their knowledge of the drinks industry and their understanding of the London market has been invaluable in helping us navigate the challenges of running a distillery in a competitive landscape.

Additionally, we have also received investment from individual backers who are passionate about craft spirits and believe in the potential of East London Liquor Co. These individuals come from various industries, including hospitality, finance, and entrepreneurship, and their support has been instrumental in our growth and success.

It's worth mentioning that while we have investors, East London Liquor Co remains an independent, privately-owned company. This allows us to maintain full control over our production processes, quality standards, and brand identity. We are not beholden to external shareholders or corporate interests, which allows us to prioritize the integrity and authenticity of our spirits.

East London Liquor Co is owned by a group of individuals, with myself as the founder and a team of investors who share our passion for craft spirits. We are proud to be an independent distillery, driven by a commitment to producing exceptional spirits that reflect the vibrant spirit of East London.
