Calbee UK expands marketing team

Calbee UK, owner of Seabrook Crisps, has appointed Hannah Colagiovanni as brand manager to support the company’s ongoing growth.

Hannah joins from Thornton & Ross, where she managed household brand Zoflora during a period of strong category performance.

She said: “I’m really excited to have the opportunity to explore a brand-new category. Coming from the household cleaning sector, I’m looking forward to this fresh challenge and diving into something different.

“Seabrook is a brand I love and have grown up with. At Calbee, the opportunity to work within another global business and collaborate with colleagues all over the work is exciting too!”

Calbee UK, part of Japan’s Calbee Inc., employs more than 250 people across its Bradford head office and Deeside manufacturing sites.

Claire Hooper, group marketing director, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Hannah to the business. 

“Not only do we continue to have exciting plans for Seabrook but the UK appetite for East Asian brands is presenting an exciting new growth area for the business too. 

“We know that Hannah will bring fresh, new ideas to the team and we look forward to exploring these together.”
