It is the official gin partner for entities such as Leicester City Football Club, Leicester Tigers RFC, and the King Richard III foundation.

It also intends to commission the production of a 'Ready to Drink Gin & Tonic' in a can, another growth market driven by the popularity of gin that is now worth £472 million a year. Burleighs has on-trade listings secured with Cosy Club, Loungers, All Bar One, and Miller & Carter. It has hosted consumer events during 2019 including; Picnic in the Gardens, World Gin Day festival and The Great Burleighs Express. Burleighs Gin has been featured in BBC Good Food Guide's 'Best Gins to try in 2019'. They will use 50% of the investment for new product development, 15% for distillery expansion, 15% for recruitment drives, 10% for export growth, and 10% as marketing expenses.
