What We Do
What We Do
Brilliant Teams
We work within all areas of the drinks industry, from major supermarkets and online retailers to the country’s best bars, pubs and restaurants.
It is our collective, unwavering passion for this exciting and ever-evolving industry that sets us apart, driving us forward together towards our goal of having the UK's fastest growing, most admired premium spirits portfolio.
Mark Riley, managing director
Our Teams
Our business structure comprises key teams who all work together to provide a premium service for our customers across the UK.
Retail
We work together with the UK’s top retail and e-commerce customers to ensure we deliver the best service and support, while inspiring and delighting shoppers and consumers with our incredible brands.
The retail sales team is located across the UK and works every day with their cross-functional teams to ensure they put customers at the heart of everything they do and deliver real value for both businesses.
The pressure on the retail industry is at an all-time high so it’s a bit of a cliché, but definitely true, the only constant is change!
Susanne Wood, retail sales director
On trade
Ensuring that consumers across the UK can enjoy our portfolio, the on trade and route-to-market (RTM) sales teams works closely with the country’s best bars, pubs and restaurants – as well as alcohol suppliers and drinks wholesalers – to provide access to our premium brands and create experiential events for consumers.
After 26 years it's still a fantastic feeling to overhear a consumer order one of your brands at a bar!
Andrew Morrison, Sales Director
Marketing
Every product in our portfolio has a unique story to tell. Our marketing experts brings those stories to life for our customers and consumers, working closely with our shareholders on campaigns that catch the eye and capture the imagination. Our dedicated brand educators – The Whisky Specialists – also sit within the marketing team.
We have some of the most passionate, dedicated & creative people I’ve ever worked with; it’s a privilege to work with the team every day.
Neil Skinner, Marketing Director
London
With four of the world's top ten best bars based in London and commuters doubling the population of the city everyday, the capital is recognised as being a unique opportunity. Focusing its attention on the Greater London area, our team has a hub at the heart of Kings Cross, looking after off-trade, on-trade, RTM and luxury customers.
This is the most connected city in the world and having an active presence here is central to our guiding principle of Customers at the Heart

HR, facilities and communications
Three different business streams that perfectly complement one another. Responsible for our most important asset – our people – the HR team manages all aspects of the employee life cycle. Also sitting within this team is our facilities and front-of-house managers, who ensure a safe and comfortable environment for our staff and visitors. Finally, our corporate communications manager looks after the reputation of our business, both internally and externally.
