Manager for wine group

The appointment of its first general manager is the next stage in the evolution of the Central Otago Winegrowers Association, its president says. ”We’ve evolved to the point where we’re moving away from being reliant on volunteers,” James Dicey said. While the dedicated volunteers had done a sterling job over the years, the association was now at the stage where it needed the help of a manager to retain and enhance the strength of the brand, he said.
