Bearman has been with Pernod’s UK division since 2012 in positions including brand marketing, category and customer development, as well as director of strategy, portfolio & insights. The company said Bearman’s latest role has been created to capitalise on the growth of the wine category, fuelled by the post-coronavirus rise of at-home consumption.

In full-year results announced today, Pernod’s strategic wines portfolio dropped 4% in sales, a fall the company blamed on Jacob’s Creek. Pernod said Campo Viejo was in growth over the 12 months.

Overall, Pernod’s fiscal full-year sales were down 9.5% to EUR8.45bn (US$10.1bn).
