Job Titles:

When not at work James is a dab hand at DIY, an awesome cook in the kitchen or over the BBQ, and loves taking his whippet Griffin for walks to the pub with his wife Laura and his two girls.

Mark is our most experienced home brewer in the business! Starting out with making wine from tea, Mark is now always trying new recipes and ingredients to enjoy at home but also pass on to you.
