T&R Theakston grows team as expansion beyond Yorkshire heartland continues

North Yorkshire-based brewery, T&R Theakston has appointed two new members of its sales team as part of the business’ plans to continue increasing its network of on-trade stockists.

The appointments of Chris Bond and Cameron Whitehouse come as the family-controlled business recently announced its financial results, recording a third consecutive year of growth and profitability for the almost 200-year-old brewery.

Chris Bond joins the business as North East Business Development Manager, having previously held roles at Molson Coors, as well as running his own wholesale business in Newcastle. He will oversee Theakston’s continued growth across the North East working with local bars, pubs and clubs to secure listings for the brewery’s iconic beers including its recently launched 0.0% Nowt Peculier and the soon to launch Peculier IPA.

Cameron Whitehouse has been appointed the brewery’s West Midlands Business Development Manager, bringing to Theakston’s his experience from roles at Carlsberg and Napton cidery, as well as a wealth of insight from management roles in hospitality. Cameron’s role, which is new to the business, is designed to support Theakston’s growth outside of its Northern heartland.

Commenting on the appointments, Richard Bradbury, managing director of T&R Theakston, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Chris and Cameron to the team as we continue to increase our reach in the on trade and make Theakston’s legendary beers available to more people. We’re seeing increasing demand for independent regional beers and having been brewing in Masham for almost 200 years are keen to continue growing the presence of our award winning beers from Newcastle to Birmingham and beyond.”

As well as investing in its people, the brewery’s recent financial report also highlighted the business’ approach to its longer-term future, with increased capital investment into the brewery supporting its focus on consistent beer quality across both the on and off trade.

With recent launches including 0.0% Nowt Peculier and its largest brands Theakston Best, Old Peculier and Theakston XB all in growth, the brewery is in a strong position to bring its growing range to an expanded regional footprint.
