Historic first for the Factory House in Oporto

Post by Andy Velebil »

The Association of British Port Shippers has appointed its first woman treasurer in its 200-year history.....Natasha Bridge, a former chief blender at Taylor’s and non-executive director for Taylor’s parent company the Fladgate Partnership, will head up the Association for a year’s term, it was announced this morning. As treasurer, she will preside over the Association, taking responsibility for the upkeep of its 18th century Palladian HQ in Oporto, Factory House, as well as overseeing the annual programme of events.

I am glad to hear that Natasha is back involved in the world of Port. I've always liked and had huge respect for her.

Agree. I've always enjoyed our conversations and I have a ton of respect for her.
