Heineken’s David Forde for BBPA Chair

Irishman David Forde looks like becoming the next Chairman of the British Beer & Pub Association.

The Managing Director of Heineken UK (and former Managing Director of Heineken Ireland) is to be proposed as new Chairman at the BBPA AGM this December and if successful will follow Jonathan Neame into the Chairman’s seat.

David has been a BBPA board member since January and – once elected – will chair the Association in 2016.
