ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE BEER ACADEMY

Beer Academy and Cask Marque forge closer links  

I am pleased to announce that with effect from 13 th Feb 2006, the Board of the Beer Academy has appointed Cask Marque to assume the responsibilities for the administrative and sales activities of the Beer Academy.

The Beer Academy and Cask Marque have been working closely together for nearly a year on the BBPA’s Beautiful Beer programme and it is apparent that this collaboration can be extended to maximise the synergies for both organisations.

The Beer Academy will remain as an independent body within the Beer Education Trust and continue to promote and develop beer knowledge and appreciation for the trade, media and, increasingly, for consumers.

I would like to thank John McNamara and his team at the BII for the tremendous support they have given the Academy in its early development and the free provision of office space at the BII HQ at Camberley and particularly to Belinda Norton, who has been our administrator for the past two years.

George Philliskirk        Chief Executive Beer Academy
