Dublin, Ireland, July 12, 2018 (Newswire.com) –The wine and spirits beverage industry’s well-known consulting agency, Brindiamo Group, is excited to announce the opening of a new office in Europe.

By having an “on the ground” presence in Europe, Brindiamo Group will have access to support our clients through strategic initiatives and in turn lead to a better service position.

“The decision to expand into Europe was a logical step in our business growth strategy,” said Jeff Hopmayer, Managing Partner, Brindiamo Group. “Some of the most sophisticated drinks markets in the world are in these regions and it’s critical that we meet clients where they live to service them most effectively.”

In addition to providing international guidance on mergers and acquisitions, Brindiamo Group is thrilled to offer global access to the finest quality whiskey and bourbon. This new expansion further enhances the solid groundwork already laid in these markets. Welcoming Ray McLaughlin on board, with his extensive seventeen years in private equity, will lead the charge in our European initiative. His expertise will not only foster relationships but also drive growth on a global scale.

“Whiskey is one of my true passions,” says McLaughlin. “The drinks industry is continuously dynamic, bringing exciting challenges and always offering a true sense of fulfillment. It is a pleasure to be joining the Brindiamo team to support the delivery of this new offering in Europe.”
The growth in our European expansion coincides with the rising popularity of Scotch and Irish Whiskey. In 2017, the export value of Scotch Whisky saw a 9% increase to £4.36 Billion. Additionally, Scotch exports grew by 1.6% in volume, reaching a staggering 1.23 Billion Bottles. The Irish Whiskey Association (IWA) has set ambitious sales targets, aiming to double sales from 72 million bottles in 2016 to 144 million bottles by 2020, and ultimately to 288 million bottles by 2030. Irish whiskey sales have been steadily progressing towards meeting these goals, with an estimated 120 million bottles sold in 2017.

“Thanks to our new presence in Ireland, Brindiamo can establish even closer ties with European clients and is better positioned to introduce our service offerings to distillers, wineries, brand owners and drink companies throughout the region,” said Jason McMurray, Partner, Brindiamo Group.
