Business & Investments

Didsbury Gin, created by two Manchester gin-lovers Mark Smallwood and Liam Manton, has been hailed by Vogue Magazine as ‘one of the most exciting new British gins’ and regarded as ‘perfection in a glass’ by Metro UK.

The brand launched in 2017 and saw a meteoric rise, securing investment from Jenny Campbell following a hugely successful appearance on BBC’s Dragon’s Den. Didsbury Gin has become hugely popular, now available in Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Co-op, Booth’s Wetherspoon’s and a wide range of other retailers, restaurants and bars across the UK.

Inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Didsbury, Liam and Mark created a range that pushes forward with bright, vibrant and zesty handcrafted flavour infusions. The range is lovingly hand-distilled, 100% natural fruit infused and vegan friendly. Crafted using the finest botanicals, ethically farmed pressed British fruit, perfect in a gin and tonic and versatile enough for all the classic or cocktail innovations.

No nonsense, just sumptuously delicious gin. Made for gin lovers, by gin lovers.

Michal’s pitch in Dragons’ Den was quite a memorable one. You can read about his story here.

Jenny worked closely with Michal over 2 years to stabilise and grow his business significantly.

In August 2019 Jenny sold her interest in Carun to CBVIT Holdings, a newly formed private company which is building an end-to-end business model for the CBD market and will maximise opportunities for the continued growth of CBD products in the UK.
