Rita Greenwood will be moving on from
her current position as Managing Director Global Travel Retail at
William Grant & Sons in the New Year to take on a newly created
role at the family owned distillers as Managing Director for
Developed European markets.
Greenwood joined the GTR division in
January 2008 and has been instrumental in driving forward the
rejuvenation of the William Grant business in Global Travel. Her
strong commercial focus and relentless drive for innovation, gifting
and the creation of GTR exclusive ranges has seen a transformation in
the business under her tenure and she moves on with her reputation
for honesty, integrity and never missing a budget enhanced.
“I am extremely excited to be taking
on this new role within William Grant’s but equally sad to be
leaving the dynamic world of Global Travel Retail, in particular some
of the fantastic people that I have been able to work with over the
last few years” says Greenwood. “The business will continue to
report as an integrated global business unit into the Chief Marketing
Officer (Maurice Doyle) given its strategic importance as a premium
shop window and I am sure that the team will continue to move from
strength to strength.”
Maurice Doyle adds, “I would like to
personally thank Rita for her outstanding leadership of the William
Grant & Sons Global Travel Retail team. She had led a stepchange
in brand and financial performance and has developed a very strong
team. She has laid a great foundation for a new Managing Director
to build on. We remain fully committed to Global Travel Retail as a
channel. It has become an integral part of our business and we have
ambitious growth plans for the future”
Greenwood will continue in her role
until a replacement is found with an announcement expected to be made
in the first Quarter of the New Year.
