Glasgow-based independent whisky bottler Brave New Spirits have expanded their senior management team, with Danny MacLennan joining the company as Financial Director.
Danny’s 27 year career has seen him steeped in the whisky industry, most recently as FD with Douglas Laing & Co, and formerly holding senior positions at William Grants, Brewdog & Trump International. The company said, “Danny will lead the company’s in-house finance team as Brave New Spirits expands operations and develops further into new international markets. He will also play an integral role as BNS’s Witchburn Distillery nears completion, with production scheduled to commence later this year.”
Danny said, “I am delighted to be joining the team at Brave New Spirits at such a pivotal time in their trajectory. What they have achieved for such a young company is quite remarkable and truly innovative. They have curated a fabulous collection of brands and their vision for Witchburn is unequalled. I am very excited to part of the journey and look forward to the milestones and success of the coming years.”
Company founder & MD Adam Hochul added, “We’re very pleased to welcome Danny to our senior management team as our Financial Director. This September sees Brave New Spirits celebrating our fifth anniversary, and this appointment was essential for the growth of the business and our future expansion plans”
