With the shortage of trained distillers or other staff to take the lead, I was curious if you would be interested in some intensive hands-on distillery training for one of its existing employees or someone else who would be in a position to take on the role?
This is something our consulting group specializes in. It allows you to bring on an employee at a lower starting cost, who then can grow in experience based on the needs of your particular distillery.
