Case Study: Kingsland Drinks builds a new procurement function with Berwick Partners

Kingsland Drinks appoints first Head of Procurement in 15 months with Berwick Partners

Kingsland Drinks, an employee-owned wine and spirits bottler and distributor, faced the challenge of building a dedicated procurement function from the ground up to manage its diverse spend. The company partnered with executive search firm Berwick Partners to find a Head of Procurement who could bring corporate best practice to their SME environment.

Berwick Partners conducted a thorough search and successfully identified Kristian Baldock, a candidate whose experience in building a procurement function from scratch at a start-up, combined with his corporate background, made him a perfect fit. As a result, Kingsland Drinks appointed Kristian to the role, gaining a professional who could immediately contribute to building the new function and driving the company's growth.
