George Benson Elected SWA Vice-President
The Scottish Wholesale Association (SWA) has confirmed the appointment of George Benson, commercial director of Edinburgh-based Bellevue, as vice-president.'As a long-time supporter and active Council member of the SWA with responsibilities including recruitment and non-licensed trade activity, George is a real asset to the Association and is ideally placed to embrace the challenges facing our industry over the next couple of years,' says Iain Hill, President of the SWA.
'George's experience of the industry will bring fresh ideas and increased drive to the Association, and I look forward to working with him in the coming months.
'He will be an articulate and effective figurehead for the SWA as we continue to lobby government on key issues affecting the wholesale industry, develop relevant training programmes and help our members' businesses become more profitable.'
Bellevue, which operates cash and carries in Edinburgh and Stirling, is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
'As a Council member, I have found my involvement with the Association very rewarding and I look forward to assuming the position of president when Iain steps down after his two-year term at our 2010 annual conference,' says George.
'With the changes to Scotland's licensing laws and the raft of ongoing legislative and legal compliance issues that directly affect our businesses and staff, we need a strong SWA to ensure that our voice is heard.'
