A COLLABORATIVE CHARITY GIN SUPPORTING THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

We’ve partnered with veteran bartender Tom Lord of Sheffield to distil a gin that directly supports the hospitality industry during the Covid-19 pandemic. Tom launched Hospitality Gin in June 2020, with 100% of profits going towards supporting the UK hospitality industry and its employees.

Here’s what Tom has to say:

“Hospitality Gin is a gin on a mission to support the UK hospitality industry and its employees through COVID-19. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the hospitality industry has been turned on its head. People who spend their working lives socialising have been forced into social isolation, with a cloud of financial instability hanging around them.

“Our industry has come together and helped each other out, by donating to causes such as The Drinks Trust or Hospitality Action, or by giving advice and a sympathetic ear to those who need it.

“The gin not only mixes a mean negroni but makes a difference to hospitality staff who have lost their livelihoods through no fault of their own.

“So, how are the profits being used? The main recipients of donations will be The Drinks Trust and Hospitality Action, although other causes will be considered as well. Between them, The Drinks Trust and Hospitality Action have given over £750,000 of grants to hospitality staff who have lost out due to COVID-19. The Drinks Trust released a statement on 30th April announcing that they were “launching an initiative which will assist members of the drinks industry to live a constructive and healthy life in these times of uncertainty, isolation and distance from an otherwise social and community-orientated industry.”
