Led by Julie Bramham, former global brand director of Johnnie Walker, existing colleagues within marketing, sales and commercial teams have been aligned under new strategy and leadership, as the Diageo Luxury Group aims to become “the number one luxury spirits company in the world”, the company said.

The Diageo Luxury Group will encompass Diageo’s 15 brand homes and distillery visitor experience, including Johnnie Walker Princes Street and wine business Justerini & Brooks.

It will also focus on key influential cities around the world, global travel and Great Britain's market.
