Cellar Trends, the leading branded alcohol and associated products distributor, has welcomed investment in the company by the Amber Beverage Group, the largest alcohol manufacturer and distributor in the Baltics and part of SPI global group.
Both Cellar Trends and the Amber Beverage Group confirmed that the investment is of a strategic nature and that management and operational control of Cellar Trends will remain unchanged, under the direction of the Watts & Marriott families, the majority shareholders.
Martin Watts and David Marriott, Joint Managing Directors of Cellar Trends are excited by this alliance and the potential that it will bring to develop the company further.
“Cellar Trends, and our employees, over the last 18 years have a terrific track record in developing brands and this partnership will give us access to other product areas, and strengthen our portfolio and teams for the benefit of both existing and new brand owners. We share, with the Amber Beverage Group team, the same philosophy on the ways to work closely in partnership with brand owners, building their brands in the UK, to mutual advantage”, said Martin Watts, Joint Managing Director of Cellar Trends.
Seymour Paul Ferreira, the CEO of Amber Beverage Group, welcomed the new partnership as an exciting opportunity for us to learn more about the strategically important UK market and for us to continue to develop our international footprint.
