It was announced in December that Tom Stainer will succeed Tim Page as the chief executive of CAMRA. Tom is probably best known as the long term editor of CAMRA’s monthly newspaper What’s Brewing but he has recently been acting as chief campaigns and communications officer. Tom has worked for CAMRA since 2006 and so has plenty of experience and knowledge to draw on. Ken Owst, who joined CAMRA as chief support officer and company secretary in 2018, has been promoted to deputy chief executive. Jackie Parker, CAMRA’s national chairman, said, “I am delighted that Tom and Ken will be taking up their new roles as 2019 gets underway and am confident they’ll provide strong support for our volunteer leadership and lead our dedicated professional team at head office to build on our campaigning successes.”
