With a diverse background spanning 25 years in the dynamic drinks industry, I bring a wealth of experience in business development, strategic leadership, and team management. My journey has been one of growth and innovation. Having played a pivotal role in shaping the success story of the iconic Doombar brand as a senior member at Sharps Brewery, I spearheaded the brand's ascent to becoming the UK's top-selling cask beer during my tenure as Sales Manager. This achievement not only fueled my passion for the brewing industry but also showcased my ability in driving brand growth and market dominance.Over the past three years, I have taken immense pride in revitalising and repositioning Dartmoor Brewery, a journey that included steering the flagship Jail Ale brand to new heights. My role as Managing Director allowed me to foster a dynamic and cohesive team that shared my commitment to excellence. I enjoy empowering breweries who are struggling to reach growth targets by helping them to navigate challenges, seize growth opportunities, and thrive through strategic transformation ensuring long term success.
