Castle Brands names national accounts director

NEW YORK Castle Brands has named Charles Hartnett as director of national accounts. In this newly created position, Hartnett will be responsible for all regional and national on-premise accounts for Castle Brands’ portfolio of premium spirits, the company reported.

Hartnett joined Gosling-Castle Partners, a majority-owned subsidiary of Castle Brands, in 2006 as the brand director for the mid-Atlantic states.

“We’re at a stage in our development where servicing regional and national accounts is a key component of our growth strategy. Chip has all the key qualities to make a great national account director: perseverance, personality and creativity. His move to Castle Brands was a natural extension of the success he achieved with regional accounts for Gosling-Castle Partners, and we look forward to having him serve in this new role,” said Kelley Spillane, evp of Castle Brands.
