OUR TEAM
Meet our amazing team of bottlers
Ron
Founder
Larger than life and talks like a budgie, Ron is co-founder and resident sales director. He has spent his career in the drinks trade with the likes of Oddbins, Halewood International, and H&A Prestige Packing.
“We talk about ourselves as an enabler. We are a totally independent business and we are striving to help the growth of the spirit movement in Scotland to go to the next level.”
Adrian
Co-founder
Not exactly the shy retiring type either, Adrian is co-founder and the operations director - making sure everything happens to his master plan. Adrian is a former managing director and owner of Scotch Frost, one of the UK’s leading food distribution businesses. He knows just what it takes to work with partners up and down the country and to deliver on time.
“We are truly excited and passionate about the opportunity to change the industry and maximise its potential.”
Stevie Peerless
Operations Lead
Stevie has over 20 years of bottling experience at Broxburn Bottlers and latterly the Trossachs Distillery.
He oversees the day-today production and technical areas of the business as well as the training of new team members.
“Ron approached me late 2022 and I was excited about the opportunity that the fast bottling line will bring to CBG and with my background I'm sure I can really help the business grow to stratospheric heights!”
John Todd
Engineering Lead
Is our resident engineering expert coming from Lees Cakes. Hes the quiet man and if there's a problem on the line, he's in there, he's fixing it. Stealthy. No problem is unsurmountable. For you, this means that your product will be in the safest of hands. He's undeniably good looking and he swears that this is photo.
"My wife is all excited that my hair transpalant went great and shes so excited now about date night"
Handsome Eddie
Fantasy Bottler
That’s the bloke with the goggles who we have adopted into the Contract Bottlers Glasgow family because of his good looks, steely gaze, and his way of looking deeply interested in the bottling process. He’s on loan to us from Shutterstock to make our team look more photogenic.
“I love it here, particularly when I stand next to the team - I’ve got more hair on my head than that lot combined.”
Amber
Fantasy Bottler
Amber, like Eddie, doesn’t really exist however we will be recruiting in the future and will be seeking to build a diverse workforce of talented bottlers. If she was real, we would like to think she would say
“It’s truly impressive to see our state of the art bottling machinery in action. It means that we can ensure each bottle is filled consistently and safely with complete traceability throughout the bottling and canning process.”
Roddy Irvine
Vatting Manager
Our resident genius, not only a brilliant distiller he is now making soft drinks and RTDs. Hired not only for his brains, by having him around, he lowers the average quite considerably - making the old lags feel younger. Quite a feat.
"Ron tells me that he's bottled whiskys older than me, but at least I've got hair"
