Hill-Smith Family Estates has appointed Jack Glover as its new executive director marketing and sales. Glover will assume responsibility of the collection of Hill-Smith wine brands and drive its global marketing and sales strategies.

Glover joins HSFE after a 20-year career in the wine industry. Most recently, he served as marketing director ANZ with Accolade Wines, where he held previous positions of sales and marketing director New Zealand, and GM New Zealand.

The appointment comes after a decision earlier this year to bring together the sales and marketing teams for its owned wine brands to align with the business’ growth aspirations.

Originating from Marlborough, New Zealand, Glover was one of twelve scholars invited to participate in the 2023 Len Evans Tutorial, and is currently completing his Master of Wine studies. Glover officially joined Hill-Smith Family Estates in December 2023.

Packaging News

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
