Career

In an alcohol industry trade magazine Frost said of his new appointment:

My career to date working in economic, trade, and EU affairs in the UK and overseas has given me a wealth of experience of global commercial issues which will stand me in good stead in my new role in the Scotch Whisky industry.

I am excited about taking up this new position at the helm of this highly-respected trade body which provides an invaluable service to the industry.
