At Whyte & Mackay I lead the Finance/IS/Legal function of 46 and sit on the Executive Committee. This role is wide ranging as our business is very diverse; at the same point in time we can be selling a bottle of Whyte & Mackay for £15 in your local supermarket as well as a bottle of Dalmore for £160,000 in an airport in Asia and so this really brings a.

AG Barr is a business known for its main brand, Irn-Bru, and its excellent marketing but it also has a large portfolio of other drinks brands (Barr, Strathmore, Rockstar as examples) mainly sold in the UK.

I was the commercial finance manager for Eastern Europe and worked alongside Carlsberg in JV, BBH. I was responsible for visiting different business areas and discussing brand plans, customer negotiations and ultimately to develop a Western European commercial structure.

This allowed me to get down to a front facing finance role as I had previously been more exposed to the corporate side.

I became as an Investor Relations Analyst where I pulled together figures and analysis and provided these to the group executive team to allow them to be as prepared as possible for investor meetings and presentations. This gave me a great insight to senior directors within the business and to seeing how strategy worked and how a business goes about.
