LONDON, May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

just-drinks, the drinks industry news, insight and research website, has promoted Andy Morton to the position of news & insights editor.

Morton, who is currently on assignment in New York reporting on the US drinks industry, will be taking up his new post on his return to the UK.

just-drinks managing editor Olly Wehring said: "Andy lives and breathes the drinks industry. His promotion to News & Insights Editor recognises the big part he has played in our success to date, and the contribution he will make in the future."

During his time as a reporter for just-drinks Morton has interviewed a number of high-profile industry figures, including Martell's CEO & chairman, Philippe Guettat, Heineken's Asia-Pacific president, Roland Pirmez, and Highland Spring Group CEO Les Montgomery.

Richard Jackson, the CEO of just-drinks' publisher Aroq Ltd, added: "Andy is a major talent. This new role allows just-drinks to field the best editorial team in the business, and to continue to provide our members with unique insight into the direction of the global drinks industry."

Andy began his journalism career with Trinity Mirror's Sunday Mail in Glasgow before joining sister newspaper The Glaswegian. He has also worked for the Metro and the Daily Mail in the UK, as well as for a number of titles outside of the UK including the Taipei Times, Shanghai Daily and the Sydney Morning Herald.
