Nestlé strengthens UK operations with appointment
DRINKS firm Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages has appointed Thomas Conquet as its new managing director for its operations in the UK.
Conquet joins the team following his time as senior director for brand marketing at Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages USA. He has played in some key roles across the business since 2008 and was responsible for a number of high-profile brands under Nestlé including Perrier, San Pellegrino, Nestlé Pure Life and Maggi.
Through this, Conquet has played a major role in building and scaling the drinks firm’s growth in the US by expanding on its premium brands and strengthening consumer-centric initiatives.
In his new role, Conquet will lead the UK team as a standalone global business within the Nestlé Group and will oversee prestigious brands including San Pellegrino, Aqua Panna, Princess Gate and Nestlé Pure Life waters.
Conquet succeeds Stefano Bolognese, who left the business in April this year following 26 years with the company.
Speaking on his appointment, Conquet said: “I’m excited to be joining the team at such a pivotal time. The business has strong momentum and an exceptional portfolio of brands. I look forward to building on this success and deliver even more value for our customers and consumers.”
