UK: Coors’ sale director Holberry in charge of UK combined sales operation

Coors Brewers is combining its UK sales operations under John Holberry as sales director from 25 May. The move follows the decision by Kevin Brownsey, take-home sales managing director, to join Kellogg UK as sales director in July, as Checkoutmagazine reported on May 08.

Holberry has been sales director for Coors on-trade since 2003 and before that he headed up the company's off-trade sales operation. He said: "This is a great opportunity to unify the Coors sales team. On a personal level, I look forward to re-establishing old friendships in the off-trade and developing strong working partnerships with all our customers."

Devin Kelly has been appointed marketing director at InBev UK after recently overseeing the global development of the Brahma and Stella Artois brands. He succeeds Phil Rumbol, who has moved to Cadbury.
