Wimbledon Brewery has announced the appointment of Christian Hamilton (pictured) as sales and marketing director. Christian has held various senior roles within the drinks industry, most recently as head of sales and marketing at Aspall Cyder.
Previously he worked at Shepherd Neame, where his roles included heading up the Asahi and Samuel Adams beer brands.
Wimbledon’s managing director, David Bateman, said: “Wimbledon has been growing steadily since our first brew in July 2015. We are now a 30-barrel facility, and we brewed over 1 million pints of beer last year.
“Our cask and keg business is growing strongly, and we have packaged beers in Marks and Spencer, Waitrose, Oddbins and Co-op, with more listings in the pipeline.
“We’re delighted to welcome Christian to the Wimbledon Brewery. His extensive experience — and previous success with the Asahi and Aspall brands — will be instrumental in realising the potential of the Wimbledon brand within the drinks market, both in the UK and internationally.”
Christian added: “I’m excited to join Wimbledon at this stage of their journey. The business is in great shape and I look forward to helping them achieve their considerable potential.”
