Significant step
The company said this was a “significant step” within the company’s growth strategy for 2025 and beyond.
Speaking at the company’s recent annual general meeting, interim chair Simon Townsend reiterated a focus on profitability and shareholder value, while highlighting the company’s emphasis on two key initiatives in the year ahead – Destination Southwold and Ghost Ship.
Driscoll said: “I am very much looking forward to becoming part of the Adnams operation, particularly at a time of such bold vision for the future.
Growth and profitability
“I have been extremely fortunate to have worked for a number of brands across FMCG and manufacturing, but it is especially exciting to join a business whose ethos and products are so cherished, not only within the Adnams heartland but across the UK and beyond.”
Chief executive officer Jenny Hanlon said: “Andy is a great fit for our business and will play a very important part as we continue our focus on growth and profitability.
“We are very clear on our strategic emphasis in the months ahead - namely Ghost Ship and Destination Southwold – and Andy’s experience will help ensure we remain on course with that approach, and that we deliver outstanding outcomes for our shareholders and our loyal customers too.”
