Peter Sandstrom, Maxxium UK marketing director, said: “His experience and passion for the industry is second-to-none, and what we love about Matthew is that his ideas exude originality, with just the right mix of class and elegance – exactly on brand with Stolichnaya. We’re thrilled to have Matthew on the ground, collaborating with trade, creating opportunities to educate and inspire with our great brand.”
