Appointment of Distributor

Appointment of Distributor

Blavod Wines & Spirits plc (AIM:BES), the AIM quoted owner of premium drinks brands has today signed a three year agreement with Hi-Spirits Ltd for the distribution of its portfolio of owned brands including RedLeg Rum, Blackwoods Gin and Vodka and Blavod Black Vodka in the UK and Ireland.

The move follows Blavod's strategy to develop its growing number of owned brands and to focus on their development and marketing rather than committing resources to continuing to build its own UK sales and distribution network. As a result Blavod will now exit these activities altogether, and although there will be one-off costs associated with this, over the longer term the Company expects the reduced cost base will improve margins and profits.

Hi-Spirits will distribute the Blavod drinks portfolio to the on-trade, off-trade, wholesale sector and Duty Free across UK and Ireland.

Commenting today, Don Goulding, Executive Chairman of Blavod said: "We are delighted to appoint Hi-Spirits for our brand portfolio. They are a highly successful distribution team and their portfolio is an ideal fit for our brands. It means our team can now focus on doing what they do best which is developing award winning brands and the marketing strategies to go with them to ensure success"
