SPC Ardmona boss resigns; other management changes for CCA

Thursday, 29 January, 2015

Peter Kelly, managing director of SPC Ardmona, will leave the company in late March 2015, Coca-Cola Amatil has announced. CCA’s Group CFO, Nessa Sullivan, is also moving on from the company.

Kelly has been with Coca-Cola for more than 25 years, working with Coca-Cola South Pacific before joining CCA in 1993.

“Peter took on the challenge to turn around SPC two years ago and I am delighted with the job he’s done. He has restored the confidence of consumers, customers and shareholders in this wonderful Australian company and leaves a strong leadership team who are well positioned to continue the positive momentum of SPC,” said Alison Watkins, CCA Group managing director.

O’Sullivan has been with CCA for 10 years. Following six years in various senior finance roles in the company’s Australian beverages business, she was appointed Group CFO in 2010.

“CCA is always conscious of the importance of succession and with talent available both within CCA and externally, I am confident that we will announce successors for both roles in the near future,” Watkins said.
