Adnams has announced the appointment of Andy Driscoll as its new chief financial officer (CFO).

The Suffolk-based brewer confirmed that Driscoll would formally join the business on 1 September.

His appointment supersedes the work of interim funding director, Robin Paul, who will stand down in the coming weeks after a period of handover.

Adnams described Driscoll’s appointment as a “significant step” within the company’s growth strategy.

“I am very much looking forward to becoming part of the Adnams operation, particularly at a time of such bold vision for the future,” Driscoll said.

“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.”

CEO, Jenny Hanlon, added: “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.”
