About this business
Small craft distillery in a leased industrial unit in Cambridge, producing gin and flavoured spirits since 2020 with a team of 4. Sales have fallen each year, from just over £1m in 2021 to £840k, and EBITDA is down 27% to £75k. The margin is about 9%. Demand for craft gin has cooled across the market, and this business shows it. The still and bottling line are owned and make up most of the fixed assets of £215k. A buyer with ideas for new products or export could put the capacity to better use at a price of £210k.
