T&R Theakston have appointed two new members to its sales team as part of plans to continue increasing their network of on-trade stockists.
The appointments of Chris Bond and Cameron Whitehouse (pictured) come as the family-controlled business recently announced its financial results, recording a third consecutive year of growth and profitability for the almost 200-year-old brewery.
Chris joins the business as North East business development manager, having previously held roles at Molson Coors, as well as running his own wholesale business in Newcastle.
Cameron has been appointed the brewery’s West Midlands business development manager, bringing to Theakston’s his experience from roles at Carlsberg and Napton cidery, as well as a wealth of insight from management roles in hospitality.
“We’re delighted to welcome Chris and Cameron to the team as we continue to increase our reach in the on-trade and make Theakston’s legendary beers available to more people,” said Theakston’s manging director Richard Bradbury.
“We’re seeing increasing demand for independent regional beers and having been brewing in Masham for almost 200 years are keen to continue growing the presence of our award winning beers from Newcastle to Birmingham and beyond.”
As well as investing in its people, the brewery’s recent financial report also highlighted the business’ approach to its longer-term future, with increased capital investment into the brewery supporting its focus on consistent beer quality across both the on and off trade.
