The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has announced the appointment of Ash Corbett-Collins as new chairman.
Vice chairman since last November, Corbett-Collins is a “long-standing” national executive member who was first elected to the board of the campaign in 2018.
Previous chairman Nik Antona stepped down due to ill health after a five-and-a-half year tenure.
Antona had been a CAMRA volunteer for more than 20 years, including holding roles as regional director and a national executive member holding key positions such as finance director.
Regarding his appointment, Corbett-Collins said: “This is an exciting time to be taking on the role as the chairman of the Campaign for Real Ale. Holding the vice chairman position for the last ten months – along with other roles over the last six years – has given me the experience and knowledge to lead the organisation.
“Our valued and loyal membership means we can work across all nations, whether this is campaigning for change, supporting our events and festivals, or protecting our cherished pubs and access to cask beer. I want to cork together to continue to bring about change at a time where pubs, clubs, taprooms and breweries are facing uncertain times.”
