Adnams brings in new chief financial officer

Suffolk-based beer, spirits and pub group Adnams has appointed Andy Driscoll as its new chief financial officer (CFO).

Driscoll's appointment supersedes the work of interim funding director Robin Paul, who will stand down in the coming weeks after a period of handover.

A Deloitte-qualified financial professional with financial leadership experience across FMCG and logistics sectors, Driscoll will formally join the Adnams business on 1 September 2025. He will become an executive director of the Adnams board.

"Andy is a great fit for our business and will play a very important part as we continue our focus on growth and profitability," says Jenny Hanlon, CEO of Adnams. "We are very clear on our strategic emphasis in the months ahead and Andy’s experience will help ensure we remain on course with that approach, and that we deliver outstanding outcomes for our shareholders and our loyal customers too."

Bold visions

Driscoll has previously served as CFO for the likes of Constellation Cold Logistics, Valeo Snackfoods and Kettle Foods.

"I am very much looking forward to becoming part of the Adnams operation, particularly at a time of such bold vision for the future," he says. "I have been extremely fortunate to have worked for a number of brands across FMCG and manufacturing, but it is especially exciting to join a business whose ethos and products are so cherished, not only within the Adnams heartland but across the UK and beyond."
