Beanie Espey has had such an interesting career. From the world of big beauty brands to spirits, from sales to marketing and even brand establishment, Beanie’s expertise is vast. In this episode, you’ll hear us chat about Beanie managing The Last Drop Distillers and working with her father, industry veteran James Espey, the highs and lows of launching a brand, and importantly her role with The Distillers Charity, curator of the One of One Distillers Charity auction, which has raised millions of pounds for charities that hare helping to improve the lives of young people across Scotland. And as you'll hear, curating one of the rarest whisky auctions in the world, and all for charity, is no mean feat – but a highly rewarding one that makes all the hard work worthwhile.

It’s been 10 years since twin sisters Joyce and Raissa de Haas launched their acclaimed tonic and mixer brand Double Dutch, a brand that has been instrumental in shaping the premium mixer market. To mark the occasion, Double Dutch has undergone a significant rebrand this year, which we’ll cover later in this episode. We also discuss the business decisions and strategies that helped grow the brand into a global success story, how to remain creative, inspired and competitive, plus why we desperately need more VC funding for women-founded businesses.
