GIN manufacturer The Oxford Artisan Distillery has secured over 200 points of sale in Oxfordshire and the South East over the past 12 months.

Staff at the distillery in South Park, Oxford, are celebrating after winning the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership New Business Award at the Oxfordshire Business Awards on Friday.

The distillery has launched five spirits, including two gins under licence for Oxford University.

It was also shortlisted for the Bicester Village Retail Award.

CEO and founder Tom Nicolson said: “We are all very proud to have been nominated for two prestigious awards – and both before our first birthday.”
