Hove MP Peter Kyle found the “spirit of Brighton” at a parliamentary reception last night (Monday 17 October).
The Labour MP met two of the five people behind Brighton Gin at the event which was held to celebrate the success of women in the wine and spirits industry.
Mr Kyle posed with Kathy Caton and Helen Chesshire who started the business with three friends three years ago. They have recently moved to bigger premises to cope with growing demand.
He said: “It was fantastic to see Brighton Gin in Parliament yesterday evening representing our local area in a celebration of the growing number of women leading the way in the wine and spirits industry here in the UK. Brilliant company, brilliant entrepreneurs, brilliant gin!”
