New appointment for Brakspear
Brakspear has appointed Gerard Winder as a business development manager, with responsibility for the company's tenanted pubs in and around its Henley-on-Thames heartland.
Winder joins from Greene King, where he was a BDM for four years. Previously, he worked for Scottish & Newcastle, initially as an acquisitions manager before moving into operations. In both 2008 and 2010, Winder reached the finals of the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers' Business Development Manager of the Year Award.
Winder joins Brakspear to replace Peter Capon, who has retired after seven years with the company. Capon was previously with Greene King and before that with Morlands, where he became a BDM after a successful career as a pub tenant, running three pubs in Oxfordshire. He and wife Anita were named BII Licensees of the Year in 1988, for their sterling work at The Tandem in Kennington, Oxford.
Tom Davies, Brakspear chief executive, says, "We'll miss Peter's many years of experience in the industry, but wish him a happy retirement. We are delighted to welcome Gerard, who is taking on the Henley-on-Thames patch at a busy time, with several pubs undergoing refurbishments in the next couple of months."
Brakspear owns great pubs to rent, tenancies, leases, in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire and other parts of the south-east and south Midlands.
