Stanford announces WGGA resignation

After five years at the helm of Wine Grape Growers Australia, Executive Director Lawrie Stanford has decided it’s time to hand over the reins. “This is the right decision for me and for the organisation,” Stanford said. “Renewal is important for any organisation and it’s time for me to pursue some of my own personal challenges.” Stanford’s association with the Australian wine sector spans 20 years, commencing in 1994 at the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics, where he worked in wine.
