Paul Hyde
In 2018 the group successfully completed the third year of Edrington 2020, a five-year strategy to increase consumer focus and accelerate growth.
The strategy created new business units with clear direction to Perfect The Macallan, Accelerate Highland Park, Develop Super Premium, Optimise Regional Power Brands, and Focus for Success.
