Dan Jago named WSTA chairman
Dan Jago, chief executive of Berry Bros. & Rudd, has replaced Denis O’Flynn as chairman of the Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA).
Dan Jago, chief executive of Berry Bros. & Rudd, was named chairman of the WSTA at the association’s Annual Conference yesterday, where O’Flynn made his final appearance in the role.
O’Flynn is stepping down from his role as managing director of Pernod Ricard’s UK arm, also prompting his departure as chairman of the WSTA.
Jago was the former category director for wine at UK multiple retailer Tesco – a role from which he was suspended from in 2014 as part of an internal investigation into the supermarket giant’s controversial £250 million profit ‘black hole’. He was reinstated in 2015 without charge.
He was appointed chief executive of UK wine and spirits merchant Berry Bros. & Rudd in August 2015, and is now responsible for overseeing “the whole business”, including BBR’s wine and spirits arms and the company’s stake in Californian craft brewer Anchor Steam.
‘Proud and Delighted’ to be joining a very strong team @WSTA with lots to do! https://t.co/K2Dr3Xcd1Z
