Denholm Associates

Head of Sales (UK & EMEA)

Job Ref: 10880

The opportunity you've been waiting for

Gordon & MacPhail is one of the most respected names in single malt Scotch. This is the role that owns their commercial performance across the UK and EMEA. Full P&L responsibility. Real authority. One of the great whisky brands behind you.

How you'll make your mark

  • Lead and execute the commercial strategy for Gordon & MacPhail's brands across the UK and EMEA.
  • Hold full regional P&L responsibility, driving revenue growth, profitability, market share and brand visibility.
  • Work in close collaboration with internal and external partners to deliver the regional plan.
  • Build and maintain strong customer relationships across the region.
  • Apply deep knowledge of the spirits industry, in particular Scotch whisky and UK & EMEA markets, to shape commercial decisions.

A bit more about Gordon & MacPhail

Founded in Elgin in 1895 and still family-owned four generations later, Gordon & MacPhail is the world's leading single malt specialist. The business operates across distilling, maturation, bottling and retail, with two distilleries, a portfolio of casks spanning over a century and a global reputation built entirely on quality.

Decisions are made with the next generation in mind, and the brand carries genuine weight in the global whisky community. This role exists to match commercial ambition to that reputation and grow it further across the UK and EMEA.

Denholm's take

Senior commercial roles with genuine P&L ownership at a brand of this calibre are few. Gordon & MacPhail has the heritage, the portfolio and the ambition, and this person will have the authority to build on all three across a region that matters.

If you have deep spirits experience, a track record of growing revenue across UK and EMEA markets, and want to work on a brand that genuinely stands apart in the category, we would welcome a confidential conversation.
