In memory of a legendary figure in the world of spirits, London Union & The Mixing Class launch The Mark Ridgwell Scholarship, offering six funded places on the WSET Level 2 Award in Spirits to professional bartenders.

The scholarship commemorates Mark Ridgwell, a leading voice in the drinks industry having accomplished a long and distinguished career, who sadly passed away in 2018. His guidance and expertise shaped the development of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust's first qualification, which launched in 2004. He was an inspiration for many.

Bartenders have the opportunity to apply for one of six scholarships on the WSET Level 2 Award in Spirits, funded by Jonathan Downey and London Union. Find out how to apply below.
