About Crystal Coverdale

WSET Level 3 (Advanced-Distinction) certified with over 18 years of experience in the alcohol beverage industry, I have a diverse yet focused background making me very adaptable. I started with a foundation built from my Bachelor of Commerce - Major in Marketing and marketing focused roles for wineries in Australia and Canada. The past 15 years I gained leadership and business management expertise from managing both a specialty liquor retail store and an on-premise liquor venue, and now a winery. ❖ Specialities ❖ Developing social media and email marketing campaigns, event planning and execution, public relations, fostering relationships, customer engagement, business management, budgeting, team management, staff training, retention, alcohol beverage buying, inventory management; attention to detail, multitasking and much more❖ I welcome change ❖Moving to Scotland for two years, building a network from the ground up and experiencing and learning from a different business climate was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.❖ I welcome the opportunity to take a plunge into the deep end ❖Self-motivation and creativity along with marketing, time management and networking skills were needed when I was the sole organizer of a fundraising event, just 5 months after moving to Edinburgh. It consisted of a whisky tasting, online twitter tasting, silent auction and other creative fundraising activities that overall raised an equivalent of $8,400 CAD.❖ I live life and my industry ❖When I am not on the job, I love learning more about wine, spirits and beer or organizing tasting event fundraisers. Yes, lines are often grey when you work in an industry of your passion. Outside of this, I love the outdoors. Hiking, cycling and golfing are high up on this list along with seeing new places, local and abroad.
