Morgan shared his excitement about the brand's success in a 2021 interview with WalesOnline, saying, "Seeing the brand in the hands of someone you admire is crazy." His entrepreneurial prowess earned him a spot in the Sunday Times' Rich List in 2022, a testament to his business acumen and the success of Au Vodka.
