Former AG Barr Commercial Director Jonathan Kemp has joined the board of Welsh soft drinks producer Radnor Hills.
Kent’s 21-year stint at Barr’s came to an end last September and it was widely understood that he would be heading off into a well-earned retirement.
He now joins the board of Powys-based Radnor Hills as a Non-Executive Director.
Kent began his career at Procter & Gamble and worked for 11 years across a number of brands in a variety of sales, commercial and marketing roles including the setting up of the first Customer Business Unit at Tesco and the integration and UK launch of the Iams business.
He was presented with an Industry Achievement Award at last year’s SLR Awards.
Radnor Hills, which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year and was founded by CEO William Watkins, produces a range of still, sparkling water and flavoured soft drinks. Its brands include Radnor Hills, Heartsease Farm, Radnor Splash and Radnor Fizz.
Commenting on his appointment, Jonathan Kemp said: “I’m really delighted to be joining the board at Radnor Hills as a Non-Executive Director. William and the team have built a very successful, fast growing soft drinks business through some increasingly well-known and great-tasting brands.
“I’m looking forward to working with the team and being part of the next stage in the growth journey of the business.”
