Welcome back to Cheers with Nat – the podcast dedicated to cheering on women in drinks. When I (re)launched this show back in March 2026, the idea was to have conversations that made us all feel connected, celebrated, cheered up, and cheered on. (So, I hope you'd agree you feel that way when listening!) Importantly though, I didn't want those feelings to end after each episode. My vision for Cheers with Nat has always been to keep cheering people on… so that's what we're going to do in this episode! To wrap up Season 1, we'll hear from each guest – some in their own words – about what they've been up to since we recorded, as there's always something to celebrate. Please note that there won't be any new episodes of Cheers with Nat for the rest of summer, but I'll be busy recording for Season 2, which will launch in September 2026. I'll also be enjoying a bit of time off, and I welcome you to keep up with my adventures! (I'll be interrailing through Germany with my partner, Nigel, and will be sharing lots of updates on my Instagram, @cheers_with_nat) In the meantime, please do continue to spread the word about the show… and be sure to tag me in your posts, as I'd love to know who is listening! I also welcome any guest suggestions for future episodes. Of if you're part of a business or brand that might be interested in sponsoring a season or a dedicated mini-series, please get in touch via cheers@beerwithnat.com. Thanks, as always, for listening, have a lovely summer, and chat soon. Cheers! Links & things: Ep 1 – Georgia Kelly is now back in beer, working for Two Tribes Brewery in London. Ep 2 – Karina Aggarwal is now representing Swiss wines and El Cristiano tequila across India and working a lot more in food. She'll soon be in Macau for Asia's 50 Best Bars and has a long-awaited dive trip coming up in the Maldives! Ep 3 – Natalie Chiu and her team at Sachio Sparkling Tea have had a busy summer, from partnering with Cowdray Polo and World's 50 Best Hotels, to adding fun new cooler bags to the Saicho accessories range. They're also celebrating the full Saicho range now being available in Majestic Wines. And something delicious that Natalie tried recently is Jörg Geiger C.- Bratbirne Heritage Pear, an alcohol-free sparkling pear wine. Ep 4 – Dr. Christina Wade's latest book, Filthy Queens: A History of Beer in Ireland, was shortlisted for the Fortnum & Mason Food & Drink Awards. Keep up with her latest writing and future book projects on her blog. Ep 5 – Nicola Hart and her team at Agua de Madre have added two limited-edition flavours of their Agua Fresca for summer. Plus, their Remedio infusion is now available in Anthropologie stores across the UK, and their Instagram has lots of fun ideas for how to enjoy it in the summer. Ep 6 – Luma Monteiro's been here there and everywhere lately – from the Chianti Classico DOCG area, to Portugal, to Armenia (including to the 'birthplace' of wine, the Areni-1 cave!). She also recommends we all need to try Croatian Malvazija Istarska. Ep 7 – Amélie Tassin shared that the Women in Beer mentorship programme is now entering its 5th cohort and that the Awards & Festival have been confirmed for the week of October 20th in Manchester. (See you there!) She also shouted out a new-to-me brewery, Sunken Knave, and their Boffle barley wine. Ep 8 – Elizabeth Townsend of Kerroo Brewing has launched a new podcast – First Draught! She's also studying towards her Beer Sommelier exam and loved trying Barney's Pickle Gose on a recent visit to Edinburgh. Ep 9 – Becky Paskin was named Diversity & Inclusion Champion at the 2026 Women in Food & Drink Awards for her work with the OurWhisky Foundation, which also recently welcomed 25 more mentees as the Atonia Programme Class of 2026. She's also continued to share her journey of rediscovering her whiskey collection on her Instagram and gotten her first few pieces published about wine, too! Ep 10 – Erika Haigh's been in Japan, no doubt gathering lots of updates to share in her next Mai Traveller newsletter. And she recently shared on Instagram that she'll be running the London Marathon next year! Super impressive! Subscribe | Follow on Instagram | Email

This week Holly speaks to Rowan Gormley, founder of Naked Wines and CEO of Majestic Wines. Rowan grew up in South Africa, but moved to the UK, after following his wife to London where he worked for none other than Richard Branson! After setting up Virgin money, and then Virgin wines, he was unceremoniously fired, leading him to start his own company Naked Wines. Disrupting the world of wine with his business, through his crowdfunded platform - Rowan’s mission is to change the wine industry so that the makers and customers are given a fair price for the best wine. So far, Naked Wines has pumped over £100 million pounds into supporting over 200 wine-makers all around the world. Rowan sold his business to Majestic in 2017 and is now at the helm of both businesses as CEO. In this meeting of minds, Holly and Rowan discuss the role that independents and face to face will play in our future, the ethos of loyalty underpinning business decisions, rather than 'quick wins', as well as the ultimate importance of the power being put in the hands of the customer. Conversations of Inspiration is brought to you with support from NatWest: visit natwestbusinesshub.com for information, tips and insights to help business owners meet their goals.

When I arrived for our interview at his farm near Bungay in Suffolk, Rowan Gormley, in shorts and a pink golf shirt, was busy watering plants in a small greenhouse. There was no indication from him that a few hours later he’d be hosting 300 people in a marquee set up between his homestead and the ruins of Mettingham Castle, built by one Sir John de Norwich in 1342. This historical structure might be on his grounds, but there’s nothing baronial about this fellow. As you’ll hear in what became an entrepreneurial masterclass. That’s Gormley’s style. Relaxed, informal, engaging. So we sat out in his garden during the height of a hot English summer, mercifully cooled by a breeze from the Atlantic a few miles away. In person his style reminded me a bit of Richard Branson, which is not really surprising considering that for some years Gormley worked closely with the famous founder of Virgin. The story starts in the South African industrial town called Boksburg…….a place better known for producing pugilists – like heavyweight champion Gerrie Coetzee - rather than for disruptors who are changing the world......
