The Magistrate - Don’t let her dulcet Welsh tones lull you into a false sense of security.
Kelly brings calm authority, common sense and a refreshingly straight-talking style to the world of wine and spirit compliance. Armed with a background in Trading Standards, she hands down clear, practical advice on complex regulations — helping WSTA members cut through the noise and keep labelling, licensing, excise and the responsible marketing and selling of alcohol simple, clear and surprisingly palatable.
If she were a drink, what would she be?
An Old Fashioned – built on solid foundations and a respect for the fundamentals, it proves that the simplest solutions are often the most effective. Strong, straightforward and expertly balanced, it focuses on the essentials rather than unnecessary distractions. Like Kelly’s advice, it strips issues back to first principles, helping members understand what really matters and make confident decisions.
