Passionate about my job and proud of my industry.
The leisure industry – the happiness industry!
"Many will fall, those who stay open have a bright future ahead of them. That is our goal. Resist."
Current projects
We are currently embarking on the adventure of cocktail ‘take away’ and ‘delivery’.
Moreover, together with our colleagues from Canalla (CS) we have launched a pioneering initiative, #BarmanADomicili.
Vision of the industry
The situation is currently extremely complicated, and the only option left is to resist and reinvent ourselves. Many will fail, and those who remain open have a bright future ahead of them. That is our goal. Resist.
What do Teichenné and the TeichennéFamily group mean for you?
I have been part of the #TeichennéFamily for five years and am proud to be part of a company with these family and historical characteristics, that is always looking for ways to obtain the best products to compete in a very complex market.
Favourite products
Gin L’Arbre, without a doubt.
We also love Kinross Premium Gin Tropic and the grapefruit, mango, lychee and ginger liquors.
Mezcal is another of our favourites.
