"Say yes before you’re ready. Courage takes you further than certainty ever will." 🚀✨

Simone launched Musgrave Gin in 2015, pioneering South Africa’s first craft gin. 🍸🇿🇦

Inspired during a trendspotting trip to the UK, she saw craft culture growing rapidly, with gin leading the movement. She recognised that consumers wanted more than a drink; they wanted a story, an experience, and playful, relatable ingredients. 🌿📖

As one of the early female leaders in the industry, she has become an inspiration to many, including her two daughters, who have supported her throughout her journey.

Let Simone’s journey remind you: your next big step begins with one brave “yes.” What will yours be?

A couple of marathons, two international master’s degrees, and just over a decade later, he managed to reinvent himself. And don’t forget the best-selling autobiography, It Takes a Tsunami! Bigger & better.
