GLENCAIRN RECEIVES DRINKS INDUSTRY HONOUR FOR SERVICE TO WHISKY – KEEPERS OF THE QUAICH HONOUR FOR SCOTT DAVIDSON

Glencairn Crystal – located in East Kilbride – has seen another member of its founding family, the Davidsons, join the world-renowned Keepers of the Quaich Society.

Within the whisky industry, the Society recognises outstanding achievement by those who work, write and evangelise about Scotch whisky. Each year a select few individuals from the industry are chosen to become Keepers of the Quaich – an accolade that is the highest recognition in the global world of whisky. Twice a year, new Keepers are invited to join the Society at a special gala dinner at Blair Castle, whereby lifelong members join the new delegates to celebrate this prestigious accolade.

Earlier this month, Scott Davidson, New Product Development Director at Glencairn, was bestowed as a Keeper of the Quaich, following his father Raymond joining the Society as a Keeper in 2016. Scott is the latest member of the Davidson family – founders of Glencairn Crystal – to join the Keepers, following over 20 years with the family business. Alongside his father Raymond (Founder and Director) and brother Paul (Managing Director), Scott has grown the business ten-fold since 2006 and continues to lead on strategy, financial and legal areas of the company.

Scott said: “I am honoured and humbled to be invited to join Keepers of the Quaich. This prestigious title is one that is hugely sought after within the whisky industry and I am delighted to have been recognised, on behalf of our family business, for what we do for the industry. It is an honour to join so many exceptional and respected individuals amongst a sector that we have been so well received within and are so passionate about.”

Annabel Meikle, Director of Keepers of the Quaich said: “I was delighted to see Scott inducted at our recent banquet. Glencairn Crystal play a pivotal role in the Scotch whisky industry and I think it sends a great message to see their work recognised. Scott follows in his father, Raymond’s footsteps in this highly specialised field.”

Products designed by Glencairn Crystal range from luxury crystal development to engineering precious metal closures, quality presentation packaging and the Glencairn glass, designed by Raymond, specifically to enhance the whisky drinking experience, and is now widely accepted as the official whisky drinking glass by the industry.

Glencairn now employ over 60 people in design and production and have partnered on projects with almost every Scotch whisky company and export their products to over 70 countries. It is an extraordinary example of a successful family owned and run business that puts both its client and employee satisfaction above all else.
