British consumers go local

The British public are more interested than ever in discovering locally-produced food and drink, according to Sipsmith founder Sam Galsworthy.

Homegrown produce is now increasingly popular. English wine (thanks in part to increasingly clement weather) is also getting a lot of good press.

It’s not just English wines; boutique spirits distiller Sipsmith is going from strength to strength as its small copper still in Hammersmith, west London, produces award-winning batches of only 100 bottles of gin or vodka at a time.

Sam Galsworthy, founder of Sipsmith, will talk in detail about how best to tap into consumers’ new-found fondness of small producers with character at the drinks business fifth Annual Conference on Monday 28 February.
