The duo behind Covent Garden's 10 Cases and Parsons are crowdfunding to rollout their on-demand wine delivery app Drop across the UK. How is the raise going? Will Palmer: Right now we've raised £440,583 from 464 investors off an initial target of £300,000. The crowdfund has now been extended to 18 February. Demand for wine delivery continues to surge with each lockdown. We’ve seen our customer base double and sales grow by 145% during the pandemic. How did the app come about? Ian Campbell: Four or five years ago we were looking at a second site for 10 Cases, in Soho. It was actually the site that Kricket ended up taking (on Denman Street). It has a massive basement. We didn’t like the thought of sending customers down there so we started thinking about alternative uses. We had a few different ideas but eventually settled on a delivery service. We didn’t get the site but we now have a premises for Drop close to 10 Cases on Drury Lane. You have to remember that the idea was hatched before the likes of Deliveroo offered wine from wine shops. But even now we don’t believe wine delivery is that sophisticated. There’s a gap in the market for what we do.
