    I remember Robin was my first key meeting when I entered the industry and teamed up with Chris. You rarely meet people with such empathy and he has been incredibly supportive of the dealer network. He is so understated, which is a quality I truly admire. Thank you for your support and friendship over the last 5 years Robin and I hope to share a glass of Glen Dronach with you soon, Slàinte Mhath. Duncan.
