A Oxfordshire gin distillery is offering exclusive early access in a campaign ahead of going public.
Sky Wave, based at Bicester Heritage in Oxfordshire, is launching a crowdfunding campaign, offering early access to own shares in the distillery ahead of launching publicly.
The award-winning distillery is home to The World’s Best Contemporary Gin according to The World Gin Awards and was named The Distillery of The Year 2024 by The Gin Guide.
“The support of customers like you - our friends - has been so important to us over the last few years," said Andrew Parsons, Sky Wave co-founder and master distiller.
"The community we’ve built over the last six years has got us where we are today and that is why we want to give back by giving you this opportunity now to own part of the business and join us on our next exciting stage of growth.
"We are raising funding for a bigger marketing campaign, new sales staff to drive the growth and reach of the Sky Wave brand, and also for working capital.”
To do this, Sky Wave is offering people the first chance to get shares before they open the raise to the public in a couple of weeks’ time, register for early access via Crowdcube.
