Steve Magnall, chief executive at St Peter’s Brewery, who has led the Suffolk-based brewery for more than three years, is stepping down.

Steve, who has been instrumental in the growing success of St Peter’s Without alcohol-free drinks brand, launched in July 2016, and who helped drive new business both at home and abroad, will be leaving the company on September 28.

St Peter’s Brewery is currently enjoying huge success in retail, the on-trade, and in export. It has just opened its state-of-the-art bottling line, which will help increase output four-fold.

Steve will be joining his wife, Rebecca, as director of the family’s bakery business, The Two Magpies, in Southwold.
