Gordon & MacPhail continues their good work as they are once again named Drinks Wholesaler of the Year at the Drinks Retailing Awards 2016.

Gordon & MacPhail has been named Drinks Wholesaler of the Year at the Drinks Retailing Awards 2016.

The judges said the Elgin-based company, one of the UK’s top independent specialist wholesalers, "provides an all-round package which it delivers with high standards of service."

Organised by Off Licence News, the Drinks Retailing Awards, held at The Dorchester in London on 2 February, brought together hundreds of leading retailers and key suppliers.

Established in 1895, and owned and managed by the third and fourth generations of the Urquhart family, Gordon & MacPhail stocks 4,000 product lines, including more than 800 wines, a wide range of beers from Scottish microbreweries, ciders and premium spirits. The company also aims to stock every UK distillery bottling of Scotch Whisky available in the UK.

Stephen Rankin, Gordon & MacPhail’s Director of UK Sales, who picked up the award, said: "We are delighted to win this award for the fourth time in five years.

"We have a skilled and dedicated team at Gordon & MacPhail and this award is testament to their hard work.

"We work closely with all our customers to ensure our service meets their needs and continually refresh our product portfolio to make sure we provide the best quality products on the market."

Gordon & MacPhail employs 150 staff at its base in Elgin and has a 20-strong sales team that covers the length and breadth of the UK. The company operates wholly-owned and duty paid warehouses along with its own transport network, supplemented by courier.
