Foster’s has appointed a former police officer to its board of directors.

Christine Nixon joined Foster’s Group as a non-executive director at the beginning of April.

Foster’s Chairman, David Crawford said: “On behalf of shareholders I am very pleased to welcome Christine to the Foster’s Board.

“Christine’s leadership, management experience and her strong community focus will be an asset at the Foster’s Board table.”
