Entrepreneur's Breakfast with Hamilton Lowe and Marley Finn
Friday 9th October | 9am - 10.30am
Join us for an inspiring morning of conversation, connection and fresh perspectives at our monthly Entrepreneurs' Breakfast Series.
How do you build a brand in a category people don't yet understand?
This October we welcome two founders who have built distinctive drinks brands from unconventional ideas. Hamilton Lowe introduced cachaça to new audiences and brought functional spirits into the bar scene. Marley Finn launched the UK's first ready-to-drink sea moss beverage. Two very different journeys, one shared challenge: creating demand for something consumers have never asked for.
Join us over breakfast for an open, honest conversation about category creation, positioning, resilience and the realities of building momentum. Hamilton and Marley will share what they've learned about earning consumer trust, finding the right partners and turning an ambitious idea into a brand with real traction.
Each month offers something a little different - Alongside inspiring guest speakers, we are giving members the opportunity to share business updates, exchange ideas and connect with fellow entrepreneurs.
Whether you're looking to gain fresh insights, expand your network or simply enjoy meaningful conversations with like-minded professionals, creatives and founders, this is the perfect way to start your day.
Your ticket includes a healthy continental style breakfast with tea or coffee.
Members Complimentary | Non-members £25

Marley Finn is the 26-year-old founder and CEO of OMOSS, the UK's first ready-to-drink sea moss beverage. He was a professional rugby player until an injury ended his career, and he turned to health and wellness. After completing a degree in Nutrition, he founded OMOSS at 24 around one simple idea: the ocean as a source of nourishment, calm and vitality. Since launch, OMOSS has won Best New Drink at the Natural & Organic Products Awards and featured in British Vogue and the Financial Times. It is stocked by Daylesford, Planet Organic, Soho House and The Chancery Rosewood, and national retail rollouts are now underway. |

Hamilton Lowe has spent 13 years building challenger brands in spirits and low-alcohol drinks. He began his career with seven years at global sports marketing agency IMG and advertising agency BBH London, where he learned the storytelling and positioning skills that would shape everything that followed. For 11 years he led the growth of Yaguara Cachaça, taking a little-known Brazilian spirit into bars across more than 30 markets. Under his leadership, Drinks International named Yaguara the world's number-one trending and top-selling cachaça in both 2021 and 2022. In 2023 he founded Smiling Wolf Functional Spirits 0.5%, created with bartenders in mind to bring functional drinks into the heart of the UK bar scene. In its first two years, Smiling Wolf has grown fast and built a loyal following across the on-trade. |
