Twin sisters, Joyce and Raissa are two sassy and charming women. Doubledutch (@doubledutchdrinks) the premium mixer company they founded in 2015 is the creation from their love of spirits, flavours and sodas. Stockists include: (Harvey Nicols, Fortnum & Mason), supermarkets (Waitrose) and online with www.doubledutchdrinks.com and Amazon. Originating in The Netherlands they have been based in London for 7 years and launched in 2015. Accolades include: Forbes 30 Under 30 (Europe), Winner: Virgin startup for entrepreneurs in retail (within 3 months of launching!).
Hear how they managed to secure the listings they have, the challenges they faced, the highs and lows of having a sibling as a business partner, what they think of success and failure, how they look after themselves (you will hear the words gin and tonic slip into the chat quite a few times …) and more.

Quote: ‘And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure whether the storm is really over, but one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.’ Haruki Murakami ‘Kafka on the Shore’.
