This week's theme is really about Community Building and Engagement Johnnie Walker Black Label: Stories Behind The Serves Cocktails all stemmed from someone and somewhere, and there are so many iterations which make these stories all the more captivating. The aim is to learn how to harness your own story and weave it through your journey. World Class Great Britain X Diageo Netherlands gave Scottish on-trade the opportunity to hear from industry experts on how their journey began, and how they have each used competitions in a unique way to craft their careers and their supporting networks. To make this event happen, we needed exceptional talent. Danilo Frigulti (World Class GB Winner 2024) opened the day with his World Class story from GB to the Global Top 8. Then our industry panel opened up about their own experiences to give real insight into what can happen when you push yourself to enter these competitions. Day moved into night and we created our own stories and memories through a takeover at Old Pal with our Johnnie Walker Black Label Netherlands Sour Competition Winners Halil Özgür and Luca Acquaviva. This collaborative event would not have come together as seamlessly as it did without the incredible input from Stefanie Margaret Elaine Anderson Ryan Montgomery & Maurits Wetemans Stories are ever-lasting, they connect us in ways we don't always fully comprehend. On Monday January 20th 2025, we all carved our own stories into the fabric of Scottish on-trade. #KeepWalking

The European Championship 2024 is about to begin – what better time to share fun facts about different cultures and countries than now? ⚽ Germany and Scotland play the opening match – let’s start there: Both countries have a rich and varied history and share beautiful landscapes and a love of soccer. Of course they also have their own distinct festivals and traditions: Germany 🇩🇪: Oktoberfest: the world's largest folk festival takes place in Munich. It attracts millions of visitors who want to experience German culture, beer and traditional Bavarian dress such as lederhosen and dirndls. 🎡👗 Beer culture: Germany has a strong beer tradition with over 1,300 breweries and more than 5,000 different types of beer. In 2023, the average beer consumption in Germany was around 91.6 liters per capita. 🍻 Sunday rest: In Germany, it is forbidden by law to mow the lawn or hang the washing on Sundays. So, if you need a really quiet day, move to Germany! 😴 Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿: Highland Games: These traditional events include competitions such as log throwing, hammer throwing and rope pulling. They are an important part of Scottish culture and take place annually all over the country. 🔨 Whisky: Scotland is famous for its whisky. There are over 120 active distilleries and the whisky trails in regions such as Speyside are very popular with tourists. 🥃 Kilts in everyday life: It is not uncommon for Scottish men to wear their kilts on formal occasions. And yes, the question of what is worn underneath remains a well-kept secret (at least to the rest of the world)! 🤫 We’re curious which cultural differences will be visible during the championship – how do you think each country will represent themselves through their team? 🌎⚽ #globalmobility #hrconsulting #championship #germany #scotland #culturehackers #culture
