Suntory Beverage & Food has appointed Daniel Woodhead to lead its supply chain operations across Great Britain and Ireland.
Woodhead’s role at the soft drink manufacturer will include overseeing the supply of brands such as Lucozade and Ribena, as well as driving Suntory’s commercial and sustainability goals through his place on the company’s executive committee.
Prior to his new appointment, Woodhead was the director of logistics at beverage business, Asahi UK and was also positioned as the company’s supply chain director for two years through Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic.
“I am really looking forward to working with the team fronting into and navigating the many macro and geopolitical challenges facing many Supply Chains and making a positive impact for the SBF GB&I business and for our diverse range of customers,” Woodhead said.
“It is a really exciting opportunity for me to use my experience and work with some of the most loved brands in the UK.”
Suntory Food & Beverage GB&I chief operating officer, Carol Robert added: “We are thrilled to welcome Daniel to the team and look forward to benefiting from all of his supply chain expertise.”
This news comes as Daniel Lander announced earlier this month that he will be joining the executive committee at Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I as finance director.
