Magners appoints managing director

LONDON - C&C Group has poached John Holberry from rival Coors to take the newly created role of managing director of Magners GB.

Magners appoints managing director
As part of the role Holberry will oversee GB marketing of the Magners brand, which has been hit by fierce competition from Scottish & Newcastle’s Bulmers Original. He joins the group board on 18 March. Holberry joins from Coors Brewers where he has been managing director of Coors Sales Operations since 2001. He has held a number of senior positions in the Coors/Bass/Courage companies since joining in 1987, culminating in his appointment to the board in 1997. 

Maurice Pratt, chief executive officer of C&C, said the appointment represented a ‘significant’ step in implementing the re-organisation plan announced in November.
