Theakston expands national sales team

North Yorkshire brewery T&R Theakston has appointed four new members to its sales team as it continues to grow its presence across pubs and bars nationwide.

Joining the business are David Taylor as business development manager for East Anglia, Nick Bubb as business development manager for North Wales, Cheshire and the West of England, alongside Will Hewitt and Hayden Wheeler as business development executives covering southern regions.

Collectively, the new recruits bring more than 60 years’ experience across brewing, wholesale, hospitality and pub operations.

The appointments come as Theakston approaches its bicentenary and looks to strengthen support for pubs and bars across the UK’s on-trade sector.

Richard Bradbury, managing director of T&R Theakston, said: “We are delighted to welcome David, Nick, Will and Hayden to the business. 

“This is a significant investment in our sales team and underlines our ambition to support more pubs and bars, in more parts of the country, than ever before.

“We are seeing a real resurgence in demand for independent, characterful regional beers, particularly those brewed with heritage, care and quality ingredients. 

“As licensees navigate ongoing challenges, it’s more important than ever that they can rely on trusted partners. 

“With nearly 200 years of brewing behind us in Masham, as well as the family partnership of breweries we represent in Brennan’s and Royal Swinkels, we are proud to offer not just award-winning beers, but the service and support to match. 

“This team will play a key role in helping us bring great British beer to great British pubs and bars nationwide.”
