He said, “I am looking forward to contributing to and developing tailored print and packaging solutions to clients in the drinks industry, which I know inside out.”
Chris Hewitt, managing director of Elanders UK added, “We always aim to be one step ahead in our sector and we are taking it to the next level with new equipment and expertise. Our new site in Bellshill means we can expand our offering and purchase new cutting edge machinery to sit alongside our existing kit, offering our customers more choice. Graeme’s in-depth knowledge of the whisky and drinks industry will be extremely valuable to the already experienced team and clients alike.”
