SIBA are pleased to welcome Paul Hegarty as a SIBA Non-Executive Director sitting on the SIBA Executive Board
Paul Hegarty has thirty-eight years’ experience in the brewing sector, starting his career as a Research Scientist at Bass in Burton before moving on to to be Head of the UK Communication Team for Molson Coors.
For the past ten years he has been the Honorary Secretary to the All-Party Parliamentary Beer Group, handing over the role in 2023. In this role, his job was to remind MPs that beer and pubs are a force for good – not just economically but as a vital cog in communities across the UK. He is also a Trustee of the Licensed Trade Charity and a member of the Pubwatch National Committee.
Paul said “The growth of the independent beer sector over the past couple of decades has brought an explosion of choice and dynamism to the UK beer market. I am very much looking forward to working with the SIBA team to build on this success story and ensure UK beer lovers can enjoy the widest range of independently brewed British beers.”
Chairman of SIBA, Richard Naisby said “We welcome Paul to SIBA’s Board and Executive, confident that he brings many years of valuable experience and undiminished drive which will greatly enhance our work – to the benefit of our members, the associates and independent Brewers of the UK.”
