Stuart Gregor
Stuart Gregor is one of Australia's better known professional drinkers and talkers. With a 20 year history working with many of the biggest and best booze brands in the business, he then co-founded Aussie gin distillery Four Pillars in 2013 which has quickly become one of the craft distilling success stories of recent years, now Australia's No.1 gin and quickly becoming renowned across the globe.
Stuart's background is journalism, small business, booze and communications – having written multiple wine guides, founded and run Australia's leading lifestyle public relation business, Liquid Ideas, and worked closely with a couple of Australia's most innovative and disruptive not-for-profit start-ups – RUOK? Day and OzHarvest.
Over the past two decades years he has also earned a reputation as an MC, auctioneer, commentator and occasional speaker on the subject of, mainly, himself and some of his more colourful exploits, particularly in the worlds of gin, marketing, small business, journalism and what it takes to turn a passionate hobby (drinking) into a viable business career . . . .
In the world of public relations, he was the inaugural Chair of the Public Relations Council (2012-2014) and the Comms Con PR industry Leader of the Year in 2014. Liquid Ideas has also won multiple awards and widespread recognition for its always engaging campaigns for clients as diverse as Singapore Airlines, Victoria Bitter and Rexona. From November 2017 Stuart has assumed the role as Creative Chair at Liquid Ideas as he focusses more of his efforts on gin making, selling and drinking.
Stuart is a father of two, based in Sydney, plays bad golf and follows every code of sport - the Wallabies, Sydney Swans and Roosters with most passion, followed by Manchester United, the Denver Broncos and really slow horses, some of which he used to own . . . .
He has a Diploma of Wine Marketing (Adelaide), a Masters of Marketing (Melbourne) and is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. He sits on the board of Australia's leading food waste organisation Oz Harvest and is a co-director of luxury travel firm Gregor & Lewis, which he co-owns with his sister, Melinda. Stuart has been Chair of the Australian Distillers Association since 2014.
