A fifth-generation member of the Grant-Gordon distillery dynasty has been appointed non-executive chairman of Scotland-based William Grant & Sons Ltd. Peter Gordon, who is the great great-grandson of founder William Grant, is taking over from Charles Gordon, who will fulfil the newly created role of life president.
Paying tribute to his uncle, Peter said: "Charles has led the company as chairman over the last five years with a leadership style full of remarkable energy, passion and humour. As a consequence, our brands have developed and prospered significantly.
