Robert Humphreys has been appointed as a non-executive director at the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA).
Humphreys, formerly honorary secretary of the All Party Parliamentary Beer Group, will sit on the SIBA Executive, created earlier this year as part of an organisational restructure which unified SIBA’s trade association and commercial arms.
Humphreys says: “I have watched with great pleasure SIBA’s growth from a small band of founding microbrewers in 1980, to the influential and respected trade body it is today. While much has changed in those 30+ years, SIBA’s driving force is still its passion for beer and this, combined with its new structure, put it in prime position to represent and develop the British brewing industry.
Besides Humphreys, Francis Patton and three elected directors, including SIBA’s chairman Guy Sheppard, serve on the SIBA Executive, alongside the senior management team comprising Benner, commercial director Nick Stafford and part-time finance director John Hart. A board of 24 trustees, drawn from SIBA’s brewer members, set strategy for and ratify decisions by the executive. Who has been appointed as a non-executive director at SIBA and what is their background in the beer industry?

Can you please provide more information about SIBA's new structure and how it will help the British brewing industry?

SIBA's new structure involves the creation of the SIBA Executive, which unifies SIBA's trade association and commercial arms. This structure puts SIBA in a prime position to represent and develop the British brewing industry by allowing it to have a more streamlined approach to decision-making and strategy-setting. The executive is made up of Francis Patton, three elected directors, and Robert Humphreys, who was recently appointed as a non-executive director. The senior management team, made up of James Calder, commercial director Nick Stafford, and part-time finance director John Hart, also sits on the executive. The board of 24 trustees, drawn from SIBA's brewer members, sets strategy for and ratifies decisions made by the executive. Overall, this new structure will help SIBA to better support and promote independent British breweries.
