Glen Scotia
single malt whisky joins Great British
Entrepreneur Awards as partner.
The Great British Entrepreneur Awards
has unveiled Glen Scotia single malt
whisky as its first Entrepreneurial
Spirit Partner.
The scotch whisky brand, owned by Loch
Lomond Group, is one of the few
Campbeltown distilleries to have
maintained production from the heady
days of the 1830s when the region was
known as the whisky capital of the
world.
The brand continues to enjoy success,
now backed by centuries of craftsmanship
and experience and its award-winning
whiskies are renowned for their
distinctive maritime influence and
Campbeltown character.
The partnership will see Glen Scotia
sponsor the Entrepreneurial Spirit
Award. GBEA and Glen Scotia will also
recognise and reward a business owner
who has shown particular entrepreneurial
spirit each month.
Founded in 2013, the Great British
Entrepreneur Awards acknowledges the
hard work and inspiring stories of
entrepreneurs and businesses in the
United Kingdom. Central to its ethos is
being more than just ‘an awards
ceremony’ – it’s a sense of community,
and a thriving ecosystem of support all
year round that provide opportunities
for winners and finalists to connect and
showcase their business.
Francesca James, founder of the Great
British Entrepreneur Awards, said: "I’m
delighted to announce this new and
unique partnership with Glen Scotia. It
has an incredibly long and inspiring
entrepreneurial journey behind it, and
I’m thrilled they share our passion for
supporting entrepreneurs and celebrating
their achievements."
John Grieveson, Chief Marketing Officer
at Glen Scotia, said: "The early
entrepreneurial spirit shown by our
founders back in 1832 is embedded in
Glen Scotia’s DNA. Back then, our
founders, along with many others at the
time, rode the wave of
entrepreneurialism seen in Campbeltown
in the early 1800s, harnessing the
abundance of natural resources needed to
produce quality Scotch Whisky, as well
as new technology including steam
navigation which meant that whisky could
be shipped directly to Glasgow in under
nine hours from what is still one of the
most remote parts of Scotland’s
mainland.
"We’re proud to be one of the three
surviving distilleries from this
boom-town era, which has only been
achieved by our ability to innovate and
adapt the business over the centuries.
Our new partnership with the GBEA is
therefore very fitting, and we are very
much looking forward to working with
them to support the new generation of
British entrepreneurs."
