Tim Turner to retire from Fuller's

Fuller's commercial director Tim Turner is to retire from the board at the end of March 2010.

Michael Turner, Chairman of Fuller's, said: "For thirty three years Tim has added great vision, perception, judgement and experience to our board.

"His contribution will be much missed."

Fuller's has also announced that Richard Fuller, who has worked for Fuller's since 1984, will join the main board from today as an executive director.

Fuller will assume responsibility for PR, which is currently overseen by Beer Company Managing Director John Roberts and will also take over responsibility for external affairs, on Tim Turner's retirement.

"Richard has achieved great success in his role as sales director and he assumed responsibility for personnel in 2005," said Turner.

"He has just completed an intensive two-month course at Harvard in preparation for his

appointment to the Main Board. We are delighted to confirm this well-deserved promotion."
