Bio
Stewart Murray
Few people I have worked with have had such a tremendous personality. I had the pleasure of working with Craig at the Caledonian Brewery in Edinburgh over a number of years, through different roles. Craig is an engaging speaker, who presents with a real passion from the heart. Every once in a while, you meet a colleague that you instantly click with, and he is that radiant and friendly individual. I wish him all the best in his new role as Commercial Manager at Orkney Brewery.
