Since the age of 11, I have always been ambitious, wanting to create something off my own. I grew up watching my dad build and grow his business and I always knew that I was meant to be an entrepreneur. I started off with paper rounds, re-selling shoes and designer clothing, working within farm shops and cafés. I even created my very own fused and stained glass business where I would travel around the UK selling my artwork. I completed my A-Levels in 2023 and went straight into a project management apprenticeship for a world renowned transport company alongside university. However, in 2025 everything changed – my eyes were opened to the world of wines.
I had never planned on venturing into the wine industry as I did not think it was for me, but even the most well thought-of plans change. Early 2026, my dad gave me a crazy idea. I had found a wine which my family and more importantly, I loved, and I wanted to give others the chance to experience its taste, UK wide. So out of nowhere, he suggested launching a wine brand. Without a second thought, I went straight to work. After months of negotiations and collaboration with vineyards and designers, I launched my first ever wine brand at the age of 21.
