Julian Smith MP visits local gin distillery, Spirit of Masham

Mr Smith toured Spirit of Masham gin distillery and had a taste of the Gin experience that is on offer. He also saw how owners Carol and Derek transformed their distillery. They were the first in the country to apply to HMRC regardingmaking and distributing hand sanitiser. Mr Smith is very grateful to them for their quick response in helping to tackle the coronavirus outbreak, and their dedication as they have continued to produce hand sanitiser which benefits many local key organisations.
