Toast of the town: IP firm to sponsor debut Edinburgh gin festival

Intellectual property firm Marks & Clerk has been named the official corporate sponsor of True ORIGINS – an inaugural Edinburgh gin festival. The event – the first of its kind to showcase only Scottish distilled and bottled gins – will be held on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 March at The Biscuit Factory in Leith and is expected to host around 2,000 people. MFGF Event’s Mungo Finlayson (left) who organised the festival with brother Guy Finlayson (right) said local company support was “vital” to the debut event.
