Excellent B4 Classic Event at The Oxford Artisan Distillery

Tom Nicolson commented: “It was wonderful to welcome B4 Members and their guests to TOAD last night. We were delighted to showcase our product and tell the story of TOAD to the variety of companies that attended. B4 is an excellent networking organisation and a great way to grow business. Networking has helped us immensely since the conception of TOAD.”

B4’s Richard Rosser added: “What an excellent evening in the company of the flamboyant and charismatic Tom Nicolson and the team at TOAD. Tom is the original showman and gave our members an in-depth history of this real success story. We’ve really enjoyed supporting TOAD in their first year of business and it’s such a wonderful story – they deserve the success they are enjoying and will no doubt continue to expand and create as they become more established over the years. Great feedback from the B4 members and their guests and one for the calendar for next year hopefully. If you haven’t had the pleasure of visiting TOAD, make sure you get up to support them on their fascinating journey.”

Joy Le Fevre, Strategic Communications Consultant, who assisted in organising the event commented: “I am a huge supporter of organisations who put relationships first.  B4 does this with great skill – effecting well considered business introductions and taking every opportunity to put like-minded people in touch. The networking events are great – and the classic event at the distillery was no exception. People seemed genuinely to be having a marvellous time – and TOAD got to thoroughly demonstrate what lies at the heart of its brand. It was a fantastic evening.”

About TOAD

TOAD is a true craft distillery; a rare species found in only a few very special places around the world. They care deeply about the quality of their spirits but also the impact of their production. Using ancient and genetically diverse populations of Rye, Wheat and Barley, grown exclusively on local farms, TOAD are one of a handful of distilleries that really do make spirits from the field to the bottle, overseeing the entire process on their site beneath the dreaming spires of Oxford.
