Kingsland Wines & Spirits has added Ed Baker, finance director, and Paul Braydon, wine buyer, to its management team.

Baker joins the Manchester-based wine bottling and sourcing company from G&J Greenall, the UK's largest independent gin and vodka distiller where he was chief operating officer. As well as overseeing Kingsland's finances his role will also involve evaluating strategic opportunities, funding and overseeing legal issues.

Braydon is returning to Kingsland after leaving Guy Anderson Wines where he was part of the commercial buying and negotiations team. Braydon's focus will be to develop the Australian, New Zealand and European wines segments of the Kingsland portfolio.

Andy Sagar, Kingsland's managing director, said: "The new appointments are important to the sustainable growth and development of our business. Both Ed and Paul bring significant drinks sector experience, great ambition, and a broad commercial knowledge which will be of major benefit to Kingsland"
