We’re excited to share that Gillian Murray, our Commercial Procurement Director, has been appointed to the Executive Board of the Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA).

Gillian brings over 20 years of experience in the drinks industry across GB and Ireland, and since joining the Tennent’s business in 2014, she’s played a key role in shaping commercial strategy for our route-to-market brands — including Matthew Clark, Bibendum, Tennent’s, Tennent’s NI, and Bulmers.

She’s not only a brilliant leader within C&C, but also a passionate advocate for the wider industry. Gillian has supported organisations like the Benevolent Society (Scotland), Scottish Tourism Alliance, and HIT Scotland, and holds both a degree in Economics from the University of Glasgow and WSET wine qualifications.

Gillian will be working alongside three other members of the WSTA Executive Board:

• Brian Davis, Director at London City Bond
• Robin Copestick, Managing Director at Freixenet Copestick
• Sophie Hogg, Category Director for Grocery Drinks at Sainsbury’s

This is a fantastic recognition of Gillian’s leadership and contribution to the drinks trade. Congratulations, Gillian!
