Bicester distillery Sky Wave turns to crowdfunding

Sky Wave, a gin and vodka distillery at Bicester Heritage in Oxfordshire, is set to launch a crowdfunding campaign on online platform Crowdcube.

With a minimum investment of £10 and limited shares available, the team are promising some ‘great rewards’ for those participating.

Andrew Parsons, co-founder and master distiller at Sky Wave, told would-be investors: “The support of customers like you – our friends – has been so important to us over the last few years.

“The community we’ve built over the last six years has got us where we are today, and that’s 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’re 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.”

Fellow co-founder Rachel Hicks added: “We wouldn't be where we are without you.

“We’re an independent business, and our dedicated team works really, really hard to create and deliver great drinks and experiences for you.

“Thank you for supporting us.”
