Richard Fuller, who was appointed divisional director of brewer and pub operator Fuller, Smith & Turner in 1992, has joined the main board as an executive director.
The move follows commercial director
Tim Turner's decision to retire from the company's board at the end of March 2010.
Commenting on Turner's impending retirement, Michael Turner, chairman of Fuller, Smith & Turner, said: "For 33 years Tim has added great vision, perception, judgement and experience to our board. His contribution will be much missed."
