Kevin Baker has been appointed Category Buying Manager for The Nuance Group Europe based in Zürich, following his decision to leave World of Patria International.

Baker says will join Nuance on January 7 next year having left his position at WOPI today. In a brief statement he said: “I have very much enjoyed my time with WOPI and am delighted to have built with Rob, Andy and Steve, a superb portfolio of premium spirit Brands, which I strongly urge you to look at – www.worldofpatria.com

“Please accept my apologies for using this medium [email-Ed] rather than a phone call, to inform you of the change. Any outstanding items and projects will be taken up by the team here.”

Baker can be contacted in future at [email protected] until he has settled into his new position in Zürich.

World of Patria International Managing Director Rob Nichols has already wished Baker well in his new endeavour: “We will be very sad to see Kevin go, and would like to thank him for his support in helping us to develop our comprehensive product range,” he said last month. “We wish him every success for the future”.
