Meet the Maker Interview

Our readers hugely enjoy reading about the people and stories behind a gin. So we love to feature our Members in 'Meet the Maker' interview features on our Gin Blog and also to link to the interviews from their gin and/or distillery profiles. It has also proved to be an effective way of encouraging sales of Members' gins and bookings of their distillery tours. You can find examples of our Meet the Maker features here: Gin Interviews 

Please send your responses by email or in a Word document, along with photographs to accompany the feature (more info below). Thank you for taking the time to write responses - just like our readers, we can't wait to learn more about you and your gin!
