Swansea Au Vodka reportedly in talks over £500m sale to BuzzBallz owner
Au Vodka co-owner Charlie Morgan earned infamy in 2013 after being kicked by the Chelsea footballer.
Swansea-based vodka company Au Vodka is reportedly close to a £500 million sale to Sazerac, the owner of Southern Comfort and BuzzBallz. Sazerac confirmed to BBC Wales that it has agreed to purchase the start-up, with the deal expected to generate over £100 million each for the founders, Charlie Morgan and Jackson Quinn. The company was founded in 2015 by Morgan, a former Swansea City ball boy, and his childhood friend Quinn.
Despite the flashiness and celebrity endorsements, the founders remain focused on expanding into new markets, particularly the United States.
