About Howard Davies:
Howard is a Co-founder of Salcombe Distilling Company which was born from his and his co-founder Angus’ love of being on and around the water ever since they were kids – sailing around the beautiful Salcombe Estuary, and then as they got older, enjoying a Gin & Tonic as a waterside sundowner. This provided the inspiration for starting Salcombe Distilling Co. which produces the internationally award winning spirits including Salcombe Gin, Salcombe Rum and New London Light; their range of non-alcoholic spirits. In addition to a keen love of spirits and watersports Howard is a strong advocate for ocean conservation and has created a partnership with the Marine Conservation Society in which 1% of sales proceeds are donated to support ocean regeneration projects.
