Williams, who joins the company with immediate effect, will be responsible for manufacturing operations across all Quintessential Brands divisions, including L&L in France, First Ireland Spirits, and UK-based G&J Distillers.

In addition to overseeing all aspects of group supply chain, Williams will also head up customer service, new product development and procurement, and lead the business-to-business and contract supply sales business.

Williams has worked in global supply chain management for more than 25 years, most recently at Accolade Wines where he was responsible for demand planning, procurement, global manufacturing, logistics, and sales and operations.

“We are delighted to welcome Simon to our senior management team,” said Warren Scott Quintessential Brands CEO.

“He was recently recognised as one of the 100 most influential logisticians in the UK and brings a wealth of experience to our busy production facilities across three countries.”

Last month Quintessential Brands chairman Enzo Visone said he will seek to further diversify the business with acquisitions.
