Walker’s Shortbread has announced the appointment of Norman Ross as its new finance director following the retirement of Dave Edwards.
Norman Ross is currently finance director of Speymalt Whisky Distributors, better known as Gordon & MacPhail.
Mr Ross studied at Edinburgh Napier University and Abertay University, qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 1999.
Prior to Gordon & MacPhail, he was the financial controller of Highlands and Islands Airports.
Dave Edwards was the first-ever finance director to be appointed at Walker’s Shortbread 13 years ago. Since then, Walker’s Shortbread has expanded into over 90 countries and increased its business substantially.
Walker’s Shortbread currently employs more than 1,500 people across its sites in Elgin and Aberlour.
Bob Brannan, chairman of Walker’s Shortbread, commented: “Norman joins Walker’s at an exciting time in its development having demonstrated his credentials at Gordon & MacPhail, a progressive and dynamic Speyside business with international reach.”
Norman Ross added: “I have long admired the company and its rich heritage, and am excited to be part of this next chapter for Walker’s as it continues to grow worldwide.”
Mr Ross will be joining the company in the first half of 2021, with a formal start date yet to be announced.
