Britvic PLC on Friday said it has appointed British Airway’s Rebecca Napier as its new chief financial officer and executive director.

The Hemel Hempstead, England-based drinks company noted that Napier is currently CFO of the International Consolidated Airlines Group SA subsidiary.

Britvic Chief Executive Officer Simon Litherland said: ‘I am truly delighted to welcome Rebecca to Britvic, and know she will be a strong addition to the Britvic board and executive team. Rebecca brings a wealth of commercial, regulatory, and international experience, which, coupled with her financial and leadership expertise will be invaluable as we continue to successfully grow our business.’

Napier’s start date has yet to be confirmed, Britvic said. The current CFO, Joanne Wilson, is set to leave Britvic shortly, with interim CFO arrangements already in place.

Britvic shares were up 1.2% to 899.00 pence each in London on Friday morning, while IAG shares were up 2.5% to 152.24p.
