MEDIA RELEASE: TRIBE BREWERIES ANNOUNCES NEW OWNERSHIP AND CEO
Australian independent brewing company – Tribe Breweries – announce they are no longer in voluntary administration, as they welcome in their new owner.
Tribe Breweries’ major shareholder is now the Elsie Cameron Foundation, a charitable trust based in Tasmania. This announcement is also supplemented by the appointment of Tribe Breweries’ new Chief Executive Officer, Heath Baker, who will manage the organisation’s day-to-day corporate operations as they make the transition out of voluntary administration and resume innovative projects out of their brewery in Goulburn.
Baker, who joined the Tribe Breweries team earlier this year, brings with him over twenty-five years of corporate drinks and brewery experience across major brands, including Coca-Cola Europacific Partners as their Head of International Alcohol.
Exiting voluntary administration in late May, Tribe Breweries has now been able to successfully restructure its financial position with clear and committed ownership and set a new path forward for their organisation and the key brands they produce, including Stockade, Mornington Peninsula Brewery and Wilde Gluten Free.
Partner Brewing will continue to be the driving force behind Tribe Breweries’ revitalisation, with a focus on creativity, innovation and supporting the local Goulburn community.
CEO Heath Baker says, “The completion of the administration process marks a fresh start for Tribe Breweries. We are extremely proud that despite this challenge, we maintained supply to all of our customers throughout the process and now with the business on renewed footing, this enables us to provide more certainty for our employees, customers and suppliers.
“We are excited to be able to refocus on our long-term growth and efficiency plans and move forward with our team, suppliers and customers from our Goulburn Brewery.”
Tribe Breweries are now committed to ensuring all partners and suppliers feel supported during this phase of transition, so any enquiries are to be directed to the customer service team at customer.service@tribebreweries.com.au.
