Hi, I’m Emily
At 16, I became a mum. By 19, I had two children, very little money and a whole lot of growing up to do. I wasn’t exactly starting life with the odds stacked in my favour, and I’m sure there were people who wondered what my future would look like.
But what they didn’t know was that those two little people would become my biggest motivation to make something of myself.
I worked my way up through the drinks industry, from supermarket sampling all the way to Sales Director, with brands including Diageo, Pernod Ricard and Estrella Damm along the way. I worked hard, made mistakes, learnt a lot and never stopped wanting more for my children.
And now? Those two little babies are all grown up, living their own lives, chasing their own dreams and writing their own amazing stories. Watching the people they’ve become is, without question, my proudest achievement.
Today, I’m incredibly proud to say that my daughter and son are both co-owners of Tequila Flora. The two little people who gave me a reason to chase my dreams are now grown adults with dreams of their own, and we’re building this one together.
