A momentous milestone
We mark a momentous milestone in our journey - Scott has hired his first employee at 5 Mile Distilling.
We're thrilled to have Sarah joining us as our Brand Specialist. Her connection to 5 Mile Distilling is special - while the distillery itself was born from a distilling video that caught Scott's eye and imagination during the first lockdown in April 2020, the name was inspired by 5 Mile Bay, where our families and others have shared many afternoons together on the beach drinking gin while the kids played in the water, as a founding member of our informal tasting committee, and her helping at markets and gin festivals. Sarah has been an integral part of our journey from before we even considered commercialising our spirits.
This hire represents more than just business growth - it's a fundamental step in delivering on our purpose: to help Taupō prosper by creating not only a business but a destination that complements the region’s natural beauty, fosters local employment, promotes education, and embracing the journey of sustainability, inspiring others to join us.
You'll be seeing Sarah out and about as she gradually introduces our spirits and our story to new regions. Her passion for building connections and understanding of our journey makes her perfect for helping grow the 5 Mile Distilling community from our Taupō home base across the country.
