Meet Annabel Thomas: Founder of the UK’s First Net-Zero Whisky Distillery

In a male-dominated industry where only 18% of companies in the UK are led by women, Annabel Thomas is breaking barriers as the founder of Nc’nean whisky distillery, the UK’s first net-zero whiskey distillery. Leaving her job as a strategy consultant in London over a decade ago, Annabel pursued her dream of changing the whisky industry’s perception by focusing on sustainability and female leadership.

After four years of hard work, fundraising, and building, Nc’nean distillery in the Highlands became a reality, with Annabel assembling a female-led team to run the operations. Despite facing skepticism and challenges, Annabel remained determined to create a sustainable distillery powered by renewable energy and using 100% recycled clear glass bottles.

Reflecting on her journey, Annabel acknowledges the hurdles she faced as a woman in a traditional industry, questioning whether fundraising would have been easier if she were a man. She emphasizes the importance of using differences to her advantage and encourages women to enter male-dominated fields by creating something unique.

Despite the challenges of balancing work and family life, Annabel’s perseverance and innovative approach have set Nc’nean apart in the whisky world. With a commitment to sustainability and a vision for a more inclusive industry, Annabel’s story serves as an inspiration for aspiring female entrepreneurs looking to make their mark.
