Stephen Marsh

RASPBERRY

Stephen Marsh founded Pinkster Gin in 2013, when he turned what had been a hobby into a business. After 4 years on the wagon, on doctors’ orders following a stomach problem, he was told he could only drink Gin or Vodka. He thought Vodka was dull and fell in love with gin. When he couldn’t find a gin he could drink with food he set out to make his own and nearly 5 years later, with much trial and error along the way, had perfected the recipe for Pinkster. It took a couple more years before he was persuaded to sell it commercially. A serial entrepreneur, he trained as Chartered Accountant and qualified in 1991 before setting up the toyshop chain, Cheeky Monkeys and then leading an MBO of Consolidated Communications in the West end of London. He also founded Myfamilysilver.com. The father of four lives in Barley, with his wife Justine and runs Pinkster Gin from premises in Newton and Fowlmere. Stephen is passionate about environmental issues and is working tirelessly, with the rest of Team Pinkster, to reduce the carbon cost of each bottle of Pinkster gin.
