Wine Importers has made changes to its management team as the business looks to the future.
The Livingston-based wine merchant, part of the Murray Capital Group, has appointed Neil Renton as managing director.
The former sales director replaces Gordon White, who will remain as a director before retiring at the end of this year, after 36 years with the business.
Graeme Broom is promoted to the role of wine director and joins the leadership team. He has spent three years leading a project to remodel the company’s wine portfolio.
Gordon Nicol also joins the business as director of finance and operations from C&C Group, where he was on-trade finance business partner. He will be responsible for distribution and financial accounting.
Keith Murray, executive chairman of Wine Importers, said: “Our scale and agility has allowed us to perform well in the face of challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic and supply chain issues.
“The Wine Importers team takes great pride in its deep knowledge and commitment to personal service, and we look forward to supporting the hospitality industry after a period of such turbulence and uncertainty - we anticipate unprecedented demand as the economy reopens.
“Continuity was our priority as we looked to the future and the appointments we have made ahead of Gordon White’s well-deserved retirement mean we continue in our mission of being Scotland’s most reliable wine merchant with confidence and optimism.”
Wine Importers was established in 1975 to meet a growing demand for interesting wines. The business now supplies hotels, restaurants, conference centres, large sporting events, bars and cafes.
