PWS has appointed Jonathan Whisker as its new finance director. Since graduating in law and qualifying as a chartered accountant with KPMG, Jonathan has amassed over 20 years experience across a range of industries including brewing, healthcare, financial services and manufacturing.

From 2006 to 2012 Jonathan was European chief financial officer at Formica and most recently group finance director at Emtelle Group.

Andrew Elenor, managing director at PWS, says of Jonathan’s appointment: “Jonathan brings a wealth of high-level financial experience, expertise and knowledge to PWS. He has joined the company at a critical time as the business launches many innovative products and services. I am confident his strategic and financial management skills will make a valuable contribution to the company’s on-going operating and financial efficiency.”

Commenting on his new role, Jonathan says: “I am excited to join PWS, a company renowned for its forward-thinking and dynamic business approach and reputation for quality, service and product choice. I am looking forward to partnering the business and working with my colleagues to continuously improve operational performance.”

Jonathan’s appointment follows the retirement of Ian Cowen from the finance director position, after almost 25 years working at PWS.
