Deb Newman
appointed Holyrood Distillery Visitor
Experience Director ahead of opening
later this year.
As Edinburgh's Holyrood Distillery
gears up for opening later this year
they have announced the appointment of
Debs Newman as Visitor Experience
Director.
As a member of Holyrood Distillery’s
senior management team, Debs will be
focusing on the development and delivery
of Holyrood’s ambitious visitor
experience.
The shape and character of Holyrood’s
visitor experience has already played a
pivotal role in the planning and
construction of the distillery. At
Holyrood’s ‘Home of Flavour’, guests
will be able to immerse themselves in
every aspect of sprit production and
distillation, providing them with a
multi-sensory experience.
Debs brings a wealth of prior experience
to the role. Most recently she was
Director of Visitor Experience and
Operations at the new V&A Dundee,
responsible for the development and
delivery of building services and
visitor operations. Prior roles include
Head of Business Operations at Edinburgh
Zoo and Head of Visitor Services and
Retail at the Palace of Westminster,
home of UK Parliament.
"We are delighted that Debs has joined
us” said Bill Farrar, Managing Director.
“Our ambition at Holyrood Distillery is
to offer an outstanding experience to
our visitors, entertaining and educating
them regardless of their level of scotch
whisky knowledge. Debs brings not only
an exceptional depth of operational and
planning experience but also fresh ideas
which will allow Holyrood Distillery to
offer its own unique approach to whisky
tourism in Scotland."
Holyrood Distillery is currently under
construction in central Edinburgh. With
the production of four gins already
underway, Holyrood Distillery will
produce a range of single malt whiskies
and provide visitor tours from its
opening in mid-2019. With flavour at the
forefront and unconstrained by heritage,
category and tradition, Holyrood
Distillery will be a distinctively
different spirits company.
