Miles Beale, Chief Executive of the Wine and Spirit Trade Association, pays tribute to Her Majesty the Queen.

NA | 09 September, 2022

“The Wine and Spirit Trade Association joins the nation in mourning the loss of Britain’s longest serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. We offer our heartfelt condolences to the entire Royal Family during this time.

Her Majesty was an extraordinary person who reigned for over seven decades of challenges and change. Her constant presence offered us stability and wisdom when times were hard. The nation grieves for the loss of their Queen who dedicated her life to duty and service, and whom David Cameron has described as “the world’s greatest public servant and… most experienced diplomat”.

With hard times to come we hope the Queen’s remarkable legacy of stability and continuity will inspire us all to overcome the challenges we face and build a brighter future under King Charles III.

As we enter into a period of national mourning, the WSTA will be pausing its communications. The team remain available to support you and your businesses during this time. We will continue to be on hand to answer questions and queries.”
