The board of The Artisanal Spirits Company announced that Billy McCarter, formerly Interim Finance Director, has been appointed as chief financial officer (CFO) and to the Board of the Group, with immediate effect. In January 2023, following the appointment of Andrew Dane as Chief Executive Officer, the Board initiated a thorough and independent search process for a long-term CFO, which comprised both internal and external candidates. Following the completion of that process, the Board is pleased to offer the position to Billy McCarter which he has duly accepted.

Billy is an ACCA qualified accountant, with strong career financial experience in the Whisky and Spirits industries including around 8 years with Diageo plc and has had a very strong positive impact on ASC since joining the Group 15 months ago.
