The Can Makers appoints new chairman
The Can Makers, the industry trade body representing the UK manufacturers of drinks cans, has appointed Martin Constable as the new chairman. Martin takes over from Graham Fenton.
Martin Constable comments, “It is certainly an exciting time to be chairman of the Can Makers. We’ve seen strong market performance for drinks cans across the board, further recognition of the can’s unique sustainability credentials and independently brewed beer gain momentum with the Indie Beer Can Festival.
“I would like to thank Graham Fenton for his hard work and dedication as chairman. I hope to continue the great work he’s done to raise the profile of the drinks can as we enter the beer can’s 80th year. The can has a lot to offer. It’s uniquely sustainable and the world’s most recyclable drinks pack as it’s made from permanently available material which is 100% and infinitely recyclable. Add eye-catching design, a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and the fact that cans maintain the integrity of drinks among the many benefits and it’s easy to see why the can is a drink pack of choice for consumers and brands alike.”
Martin’s has previously worked at Crown Packaging, going in as a UK key account manager following 15 years at General Electric. He is now based at Crown Bevcan’s offices in Carlisle, where he is responsible for UK and Ireland as the Sales Director.
