Claire Cuthbertson, HR Manager, Grand Central Hotel, Glasgow

As a luxury venue in a major tourist destination, it is vital to us that we maintain extremely high levels of customer service. The Whisky Ambassador programme gives our staff confidence to talk to customers about our national drink and make recommendations. It has also motivated them to go away and learn more. Customers get a better experience which relates directly to profitability . It has been a win-win all round.

Lorna Jackson , HR Manager, Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow

We are committed to promoting Scottish culture and heritage and helping make the country the toast of tourists. Training our staff to become Whisky Ambassadors is central to that. Whisky is just as much a part of Scotland’s story as its golf and we will offer the very best of both.
