The industry body representing UK drinks can manufacturers, The Can Makers, has announced the appointment of Martin Constable as its new chairman.
Constable has more than a decade of experience in the can industry and is currently Crown Bevcan’s UK and Ireland sales director, having previously held positions for Crown Packaging and General Electric. He takes over from Graham Fenton.
Constable said: “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.”
