Jem

Jem is the founder of Bristol Syrup Company. He’s been involved in the speciality coffee industry since he started his career as a young barista. Seeing a gap in the UK coffee market for syrups and barista gear, he co-founded, Beyond the Bean who now sell to over 50 countries worldwide. A big cocktail fan, he called on the expertise of Dee & Danny to help him develop a range of cocktail syrups to be made right here in Bristol. After lots of research on both sides of the bar, the Bristol Syrup Company was born. Jem loves surfing, skiing and tradeshows.

Favourite Cocktail: 'Sitting on the beach in Portugal having an aftersurf Mojito - you can't beat it!'

"I'm massively excited to be able to combine my passions - syrups and cocktails!"

Dee

Dee is our Brand & Development Manager and resident cocktail expert. Having worked behind the stick at many of Bristol’s top cocktail bars over the years, she certainly knows her stuff when it comes to mixed drinks. She’s the taste buds of the business and the person you’ll see making drinks at all of our tradeshows and events. A true cocktail queen, she definitely knows her way around a speed-rail, but when she’s not at work you’ll find her watching cartoons with a stout and crochet hook in-hand.

Favourite Cocktail: 'Mint julep, it's simple, tasty and hits the spot every time. I love this cocktail so much I've got it tattooed on me.'

"I'm so proud of the products we’ve created at Syrup Co. They're a huge component in cocktails and so often lack the love they deserve. We’re passionate about giving syrup and purée the respect they should have."

Danny

Danny is our Ambassador and general clever-clogs, there’s not a problem this guy can’t fix. He’s a famous face on the Bristol bar scene, but that’s not the only city he’s well known, having bartended around the world! Rarely seen without a hat of some kind, you will most likely find Danny up to something drinks related. He's a passionate foodie so when he isn't working, you’ll find him at home cooking or out at one of the UK’s many awesome restaurants.

Favourite Cocktail: 'Daiquiri, one of the best all round classic drinks, it’s great how something with just three ingredients can be so variable and versatile. It's always been my go to test of a bar, if they can make a great daiquiri then they are alright in my book.'

"I love the Bristol Syrup Company Range, we’re really pleased with the liquids and love seeing them in the hands of great bartenders seeing what they create"

The chap who’s been with us since 2017, our dedicated National Accounts Manager Greg is the friendly face you’ll see when you want to talk syrups. He has a wealth of experience across the industry and the charm to back it up.
