UK beverage group AG Barr has appointed former Sainsbury's finance chief Darren Shapland as its new board chair with immediate effect.
In a statement today (1 September), the Irn-Bru owner said Shapland has also been made an independent non-executive director.
The move places Shapland on the group's remuneration and ESG committees and he will also chair the nomination committee, AG Barr said.
Shapland replaces Susan Barratt, who has been the company's interim non-executive chair since January. Barratt will now return to her previous role as senior independent director.
Euan Sutherland, the CEO of AG Barr, said: "We are incredibly excited to welcome Darren to AG Barr. His wealth of consumer, commercial, and financial expertise will be invaluable as we continue to drive long-term value for our shareholders, build our brand momentum, and execute our growth strategy."
