UK brewer and pub group Adnams has appointed its CFO, Jenny Hanlon, as the new CEO, succeeding the retiring Dr. Andy Wood.
Hanlon joined the brewer’s board in 2020 and has been a part of the company ever since. She was previously working at Greene King, Barclays, and GPR Group in financial responsibilities. She will assume leadership on July 1st.
She takes over from Dr. Wood, who has been Adnams’ CEO since 2010. Adnams stated that he will continue in a consultancy role until the end of the year.
“Looking forward, it’s critical that we maintain our innovation and evolution in all areas—our brand and product line, our brewing, distilling, and distribution operations, and our estate—while upholding the same principles and commitments that have so successfully supported our clients, communities, and coworkers,” Hanlon stated.
The company’s brand portfolio features Ghost Ship and Old Ale. Additionally, the group runs around 45 pubs and inns throughout the UK.
Last month, Adnams engaged advisers to lead fundraising efforts as the pub group seeks to enhance its financial position.
When contacted, Adnams representative stated, “We have given advisors instructions to look into a variety of options to fund our future growth plans.”
In its most recent publicly disclosed financial statements, Adnams recorded a deficit of £2.4 million ($3 million) for the six-month period that ended on June 30, 2023. During this timeframe, the group generated a turnover of £29 million, yet incurred operating expenses amounting to £32.5 million. Additionally, outstanding creditor amounts due within a year from that period were reported to be £17.4 million.
“Due to ongoing pressure on input prices and decreased demand, especially in the first quarter of the year, operating losses rose to £2.4 million. In addition to controlling borrowing levels in the present higher interest rate environment, the company’s priority remains on cash creation, Adnams Chairman Dr. Jonathan Adnams stated when the accounts were submitted.
“Jenny is the perfect fit to lead us through the next phase of Adnams’ evolution, which includes stabilising our financial footing and leveraging our unique strengths,” Dr. Adnams stated in reference to Hanlon’s appointment as CEO.

Kraft Heinz has been selected for award negotiations with the US Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstration for up to $170 million.
The funding will be utilized to facilitate the execution of clean energy initiatives at ten of the company’s US facilities, targeting a reduction in carbon emissions by more than 99%.
The funding provided by the US Department of Energy, under the project name ‘Delicious Decarbonization Through Integrated Electrification and Energy Storage,’ will be deployed at Kraft Heinz sites in the following locations: Champaign, Illinois; Columbia, Missouri; Fremont, Ohio; Holland, Michigan; Kendallville, Indiana; Lowville, New York; New Ulm, Minnesota; Muscatine, Iowa; Mason City, Iowa; and Winchester, Virginia.
By implementing a variety of technologies, such as heat pumps, electric heaters, and electric boilers in conjunction with biogas boilers, solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, and thermal energy storage, Kraft Heinz aims to modernise, electrify, and decarbonise its process heat at ten facilities.
With the implementation of these new technologies, Kraft Heinz anticipates reducing annual carbon dioxide emissions by over 300,000 metric tons.
Furthermore, the business predicts that the implementation of electrification, onsite generation, and energy saving measures would result in a 23% reduction in overall energy use. Total water use is predicted to fall by 3%, while natural gas usage is predicted to decrease by 97%, with the remaining 3% going towards standby equipment.
The company hopes that by demonstrating the integration of several decarbonisation pathways, the initiative would assist “a major US brand” in achieving deep decarbonisation and set an example for other US food and beverage industries.
Chief procurement and sustainability officer Marcos Eloi Lima stated, “At Kraft Heinz, we take sustainability seriously. We’re working towards attaining net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.” “With this investment, we will have the necessary money to update our plants and reduce emissions while increasing energy efficiency. We are happy to begin since this investment recognises our continued efforts to reduce our environmental effect.”
Helen Davis, Senior Vice President and Head of North America Operations at Kraft Heinz, commented, “The infrastructure enhancements at these ten plants will enable us to scale successful technologies and processes across our other US facilities and internationally, enhancing our efficiency as we expand upgrades to additional locations. I am proud of the positive influence this project and award will have on our facilities, as well as on our current and future workforce and the communities surrounding our operations.”
As part of the project, Kraft Heinz anticipates generating approximately 500 construction jobs across the ten sites.
This marks the latest in a series of investments by the US Department of Energy. Just this week, the department allocated $20.9 million to Unilever to decrease carbon emissions at four of its US ice cream manufacturing facilities.
Metro Brands Ltd (MBL) has announced an extension of its partnership with Crocs India Ltd (CIL), with adjustments made to the terms of their agreement.
