Life President of William Grant & Sons.
 The
death has just been announced of Charles
Gordon, Life President of William Grant
& Sons, who died in New York at the
weekend. He was 86 years of age.
Charles was a key driving force in
building William Grant & Sons into a
strong independent family-owned company
with a unique global reputation for
excellence.
His son Glenn, the present Chairman of
the company, paid this tribute to his
father: "We are all very proud of my
father’s achievements in his very full
and energetic lifetime, and give thanks
for the legacy that he has left us with.
He touched the lives of many, many
people and will be sorely missed by all.
"In our family and our business, which
my father always intertwined, he very
much believed in a spirit of
partnership. In his memory, we will
continue to build this spirit, and with
it our independent family business, for
future generations."
Stella David, Chief Executive of the
company said: "On behalf of all of us at
William Grant & Sons, we recognise the
truly exceptional contribution Charles
Gordon has made to our company. Indeed
few people have made a greater
contribution to the scotch whisky
industry over such an extended period of
time. The company is fully committed to
continue to build on Charles’ remarkable
legacy. We pass on our sympathies to the
Grant Gordon family."
