#16 - How to Start a Gin Business - Rich Hine - Founder of British Polo Gin

In this week’s episode. I’m thrilled to be joined by my good friend Rich Hine, the founder of British Polo Gin, an organic gin company based in the Cotswolds.

I’ve been looking forward to recording this episode for a while, as Rich and I have been discussing business ideas since we met in 2019. In fact, he was a significant influence on my decision to start this podcast.

Rich is the epitome of a down-to-earth businessman, and he openly shares the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, starting his business right after university and figuring it out as he went along.

In this episode, Rich reveals his strategy for breaking into Fortnum & Mason, one of London’s most prestigious food and drinks retailers. He talks about the scary times of running a hospitality business during the Covid pandemic, pivoting to produce hand sanitiser for the NHS, and diversifying his business model multiple times.

He also offers valuable advice to aspiring entrepreneurs, and shares a hilarious story about his attempt to flip a classic car, another of his business ventures.

If you enjoy this episode, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could take a moment to hit the follow button. It really helps grow the show and ensures you never miss out on these inspiring conversations.
