The Worshipful Company of Distillers has launched its first mentoring programme.
The new initiative - the first of its kind in the Livery's history - will provide general career advice, networking opportunities, and a range of professional support including brand marketing and logistics. While it is open to all students in the distilling industry, the scheme is particularly designed for more disadvantaged students.
The first mentees have already been matched with Livery mentors and the programme is underway in locations including London, the West Country and the Scottish Lowlands. Initial feedback from mentees has been positive, with praise for the matches and the help that has been offered.
