5th March 2010, 10:48am

The Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) has elected Keith Bott as its new chairman.

Bott takes up the position following the organisation's AGM in Stratford-on-Avon , at which current chairman Peter Amor stood down from the role he had held for three years.

Bott commented: "SIBA today is a very different organisation to the one I chaired three years ago.  Since then, we have appointed our first chief executive, Julian Grocock, who has steered SIBA through a period of change and enhanced our standing with Government,  trade bodies, the media and other stakeholders.

"This is an exciting time to be taking on the Chairman's role, and I look forward to working with Julian, as well as SIBA's trustees and directors, to ensure the continued success of the UK's thriving quality beer sector."
