Coca-Cola Amatil has appointed the ex-CEO of Scottish & Newcastle, Tony Froggatt, as a non-executive director.
Froggatt will join the soft drinks firm’s board from December, it said today (1 November). Froggatt was CEO at Scottish & Newcastle until he retired in October 2007, shortly before the business was bought and carved up by Heineken and Carlsberg.
