JF Hillebrand wins whisky distribution contract

Drinks specialist JF Hillebrand has been awarded a three-year distribution contract with whisky manufacturer William Grant and Sons.

JF Hillebrand - which will oversee the agreement from its headquarters in Bellshill, Glasgow - won a three-year deal to manage all wine imports for Waitrose earlier this year, building on a relationship established more than 10 years ago.

David Mawer, JF Hillebrand area director for UK and Ireland says: ‘We are extremely proud to have enhanced our position with William Grant and Sons as one of their strategic and logistical service partners.

"It reinforces our position as market leader within the beverage sector and endorses the service excellence that we consistently deliver to our clients.

"Our global network of offices specifically concentrating within the beverage sector will ensure that William Grant and Sons will experience the highest quality of service, at all times."
