PPD Distribucija (Croatia) is proud to announce that it has been awarded the title of Diageo Distributor of the Year (Eastern European Markets).
Diageo is the world’s leading premium drinks business in volume and value, with an outstanding collection of beverage alcohol brands across spirits, beer and wine. These brands include Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Baileys, Captain Morgan, Gordon’s, and Guinness.
PPD Distribucija which belongs to the Photos Photiades Group of Companies has been operating in Croatia since 2008 as the exclusive distributor of the DIAGEO portfolio, as well as other esteemed multinational beverage companies such as Gruppo Campari, Evian, Henkell and Monin. In addition to Croatia, the Photos Photiades Group is also the exclusive distributor of Diageo in Cyprus, Romania and Slovenia.
The highly prestigious award was announced at the Gala Awards Ceremony of the Diageo Partners Conference held in London, United Kingdom between April 23rd and April 25th.
The award, a stunning replica of a copper pot still, was presented to General Manager Mr. Constandinos Efthymiou by Mr. Stephen Morley, Managing Director of DIAGEO Russia and Eastern Europe, who attributed this pinnacle of success to the exceptional overall performance of the company in 2012.
Mr. Morley stressed the fact that Croatia has been an exemplary company which has been posting double digit growth in both volume and market share of all key brands not only in 2012, but for the past three years, despite the global economic turndown which took a heavy toll on the Croatian economy as well. In addition, Mr. Morley gave credit to PPD’s passionate, winning team spirit which has undeniably been a catalytic factor to the level of success the company has been experiencing.
The Diageo Partner Awards consists of eight categories for which the (need to establish number of markets in region) individual markets making up Diageo Eastern Europe submit their entries. The entries are then pre selected into an average of four nominations per category with the winners being announced during the Gala Awards night as a prelude to the announcement of the grand winner, resembling an Oscar Night award ceremony.
This year, all three of PPD Distribucija’s submitted entries were nominated in their respective categories, and the company won the Award for Best Consumer Marketing Execution of White Spirits with its Smirnoff Midnight Circus and Smirnoff Madonna activations. The other nominations were achieved for Best Consumer Marketing Execution of Johnnie Walker and Best Consumer Marketing Execution of Captain Morgan.
The achievement of the Diageo Distributor of the Year Award grants Croatia the privilege of hosting next year’s Conference and Awards Ceremony.
