Among the members of the committee are: Amber Gardner (NoMad), Declan McGurk (The Boatyard Distillery), Freddie Cobb (Vagabond Wines), Harriet Kininmonth (Enotria&Coe), Isabelle Gormezano Marks (Small Beer Brew Co), Jacine Rutasikwa (Matugga Distillers), Millie Milliken (Imbibe), Sylvia Oates (Best Bar None) and Tom Surgey (Three Wine Men, Pingza).

The Drinks Community will be the voice of drinks people. We will create, curate and share the most relevant and exciting vocational content that will help grow your career and connect you with more people, and more opportunity, from across our vibrant industry,” The Drinks Trust’s CEO, Ross Carter said.

“We will offer the services and opportunities that will help our people become more skilled, making our sector stronger, smarter, more connected, more resilient and more diverse,” he added.
