Episode1: Drew Mallins | The London Bartenders’ Association (The LBA)

Drew Mallins

We’re chatting to the founder and curator of the London Bartenders' Association (LBA). We’ll be getting closer to his time in the hospitality industry, and what motivated him to create what would go on to become the largest UK online platform for the bartending community. Established in 2010, this Facebook group has grown to one of the largest hospitality networks in the UK with over 30,000 members and generates daily content with job postings, event listings, product launches, training and more.

Drew has a passion for the hospitality industry focusing on cocktail bars and staff training and in May 2016 won Caterer Middle East's Bar Manager of the Year award.
