Carla Fernandes

Founder of Bar Keeper

After matriculating, she helped out her parents at R&H Liquors. From what was supposed to be a one month “holiday job” turned into years in the liquor industry. Starting from telesales she worked herself upwards to procurement manager. Once the business was sold to Super Group she was promoted to Regional Operations Manager. Although after being in a family run business, she quickly realized corporate world was not for her. In June 2016 she quit her job and set her sights on a liquor store, where people would feel comfortable to browse around and have a large variety of different products
