We believe that it is important to come together to share insight, discuss challenges and debate best practise. Our Whisky Finance Directors' Club aims to grow a community and lead round table discussions on current issues within the sector.

Hosted by Grant Roger, Audit Partner specialising in whisky distilleries, our gatherings cover key topics with the agenda driven by those around the table.

We will be joined by Dr Alan Rutherford OBE, a distinguished figure with over 50 years of experience in the whisky industry. Dr Rutherford will share invaluable insights on navigating the current global market downturn, and on preparing for the future of the whisky industry. Dr Rutherford will be accompanied by Nigel Mills, co-founder of The Lakes Distillery. 

Drawing from his extensive career, including roles at major corporations like Diageo and involvement with start-ups such as Compass Box and The Lakes Distillery, he will explore the whisky industry's evolution over the past 50 years, share strategies for navigating current market challenges, and provide guidance on preparing for the future. 

We will be running this event hybrid, online via Zoom and in-person in our Edinburgh office.
