During her tiome at the businesss, the Welsh Whisky Company’s turnover more than doubled to £23 million, and Davies’ responsibilities included oversight of three prodcutuon sites and visitor centres.
 
Martin McAdam, CEO of Ardgowan Distillery, commented: “It is a pleasure to welcome Laura to the Ardgowan family. Her deep industry knowledge, from distillation to business development, aligns perfectly with our mission to establish Ardgowan as both a community cornerstone and a respected name in the global whisky market.”
 
Davies added: “Ardgowan is at such an exciting point in its journey. Joining at a moment when we are building the distillery and operational team from the ground up is something special. I look forward to applying all that I have learned to help Ardgowan craft an exceptional single malt that will resonate with whisky lovers worldwide.”
