What started off with humble beginnings the team at Broken Heart is gradually growing in size. With 6 full time employees we are a family, who all share the same core values and pride in the Broken Heart products and history. The Distillery and office are all located at Joerg’s personal residence in Arrow Junction so many a morning coffee, lunches and evening gins are spent around his dining room table.
Joerg Henkenhaf – Owner/Distiller
What do you do at Broken Heart? I am the main brain creating ideas and the long-term vision for the company. I am continually driven by my passion for distilling and so remain very hands on in the day-to-day production of the Broken Heart Spirits range.
Favourite Cocktail? At the moment it is Negroni
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working? If I am not cruising around on the e-bike, you will find me in the heart of the home brainstorming new creations and concoctions from jams and jellies to new gin flavours.
Lyn Guilfoyle – Production Coordinator
What do you do at Broken Heart? I do a bit of everything to ensure the smooth day to day running of Broken Heart Spirits. Keeping all policies and procedural manuals up to date, organising logistics around events and festivals and ensuring Broken Heart is entered into all relevant competitions and award categories.
Favourite Cocktail? Dark and Stormy
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working? The trails of Arrowtown are on my back doorstep so in the evenings I take myself off into the mountains. I also coach the local hockey school B team.
