LONDON (Alliance News) - Britvic PLC on Tuesday said it has appointed SuperGroup PLC Chief Executive Euan Sutherland as an independent non-executive director.
Prior to his role at clothing retailer SuperGroup, Sutherland was CEO for the Co-op group of companies, chief operating officer at DIY retailer Kingfisher PLC, CEO of Kingfisher-owned B&Q, and has also held roles at electronics chain Dixons Retail, now part of the Dixons Carphone PLC brand, and at Coca-Cola.
Britvic, a soft drinks company which makes brands including 7Up, J20 and Robinsons, also said it has appointed Sue Clark as an independent director. Clark is currently managing director of drinks giant SABMiller PLC's European operations.
Both Sutherland and Clark will take up their roles in Britvic on February 29.
"We are delighted to welcome Euan and Sue to the board. Euan brings strong retail sector knowledge and general management and marketing experience. Sue has headed up corporate affairs at a number of large British companies and her latter experience running SABMiller Europe places her in a unique position to contribute to the development of Britvic. They are both strong additions to the Britvic board as we look to continue to develop our business in the UK and internationally," Chairman Gerald Corbett said in a statement.
