Recent expansion to the brewery’s team include the addition of Neil Galloway, operations manager, Dominic Leighton, national sales executive (North), Jonathan Shaw, area sales manager (London), Lindsey Faull, brewery administrator (part-time), Steve Corry, Drayman, Mike Simpson, off-trade and export (part-time) and Talia Karim who began as an apprentice and will now become a full-time Sales Support Assistant.

A further appointment of a national sales executive to cover the South is also expected to be made within the next few weeks.

The appointment of Jonathan Shaw as a dedicated area sales manager based in London, a new area to have direct supply from the Brewery, will further support Oakham’s current distribution routes into London in the wake of the buoyant market conditions and increasing demand for its multi award-winning range of ales, kegs and ciders there.

Adrian Posnett, managing director, Oakham Ales explains: “With the continuing success of our core range and plans to expand our keg line-up for 2016 we wanted to ensure that all areas of the business had the additional support necessary to ensure that we are able to continue to deliver the high level of service that our customers have come to expect from us.

“Despite tough competition with new breweries launching every week, I’m delighted to report that Oakham Ales has maintained steady growth in all areas and I’m confident that the new appointees will help us to continue to build on that success.”
