New Zealand: Appointment of new CEO for New Zealand Hops Ltd
The Directors of New Zealand Hops Ltd announced on November 18 the appointment of Mr Douglas Donelan as Chief Executive Officer, with specific focus on sales and marketing, for the New Zealand Hop Group. Doug, who is currently Head Brewer for Lion Nathan’s Sydney based Malt Shovel brewery, has wide ranging general management experience gained from current and previous roles in both operations and technical functions. As CEO Doug will be responsible for running all aspects of New Zealand Hops Ltd, together with existing staff, and for continuing promotion and sales of New Zealand hops and hop products on a worldwide scale.
Doug ‘s passion for hops is well known and is no stranger to New Zealand brewing, having held the position of Chief Judge at the New Zealand International Beer Awards for a number of years.
Doug succeeds Tom Inglis as the marketer for New Zealand hops and hop products. Tom is enjoying his retirement after more than 20 years working tirelessly promoting New Zealand’s unique hops, and we are confident that Doug will be just as successful in his achievements.
Doug will make the move from Australia to New Zealand towards the end of this year, and will take on his new position with the company from January 2006 onwards. We are very pleased to have someone with Doug’s qualifications and attributes join our team and are positive he will do well in his new role, Bruce J Eggers, Chairman for New Zealand Hops Ltd, commented in a statement.
