One of the top executives at BrewDog is reportedly quitting to become the new boss of Stonegate, the owner of the Slug & Lettuce and Be at One chains, among others.
According to Sky News, David McDowall, BrewDog’s president and chief operating officer, is to join Stonegate, which trades from 4,500 pubs across Britain.
An industry source told Sky the appointment would be announced publicly later on Wednesday.
McDowall, who has worked for BrewDog in senior roles for the last eight years, will replace Simon Longbottom, Stonegate’s long-serving boss.
The departing chief is expected to step down in the first quarter of next year.
