45 West Distillers, makers of Burleigh’s London dry gin, has appointed ex-bartender Alex Turner as commercial director.

Turner joins after roles with Bacardi Brown Forman, Enotria Coe and IPB, which followed a career in hospitality.

Turner will be joining master distiller Jamie Baxter in Leicestershire, and will work across the Burleigh’s range: Signature, Export Strength and Distiller’s Cut.

Phil Burley, director of 45 West Distillers said: “Alex is the ideal person to take Burleigh’s gin onto the next level. As we grow, Alex’s industry experience and insight will be invaluable helping us achieve our aim of introducing more people to gin through the Burleigh’s range.”
