president’s message

2017 SAW the loss of a great supporter of the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), a true ambassador for Madeira wine and the island, and a great friend – Tim Stanley-Clarke. When I took over my family’s business in 2011, Tim was always on hand to introduce me to everyone and, in typical Tim form, he was always ready to pull a prank when I was least expecting it. His regular trips to Madeira with his wife, Dounie, became a fixture and before he passed away, he was busy organising a visit in 2018 with The Worshipful Company of Distillers. He will be much missed by the whole industry. I had some big shoes to fill when I took over the reins as president of the IWSC, following on from the charismatic Matteo Lunelli. Being only the second Portuguese person to join a distinguished list of past presidents meant that I had a great opportunity to talk about Madeira and all that it stands for in this modern era. football players from the island, has lodges.
