Wrexham based company announces leadership changes

Levercliff, a B Corp certified company of category consultants to the food and drink industry have announced new leadership team roles effective immediately.

 These changes reflects the company’s ambition to further accelerate their strong growth by investing in redefining the value category management and category led commercial strategies add to businesses and stakeholders in the food and drink sector. 

Clodagh Sherrard has taken over the role of managing Director of the business. Having worked with the company in a variety of leadership roles in the last 20 years, she has been a key driver behind their B Corp journey and her experience should allow for a smooth operational transition.

Meanwhile Fintan O’Leary has transitioned from his role as Managing Director into the position Executive Chairman. In his new role, Fintan will focus on the longer term development of the business to ensure continued value for new and existing clients while adapting to the dynamic nature of the food and drink sector.

These changes to the company’s leadership follow a period of sustained growth and several strategic appointments that have brought in incremental and complementary expertise from agency, brand and private label manufacturer backgrounds. 

Fittingly, these changes also coincide with a landmark celebration of 30 years as industry leading experts and category consultants to the food and drink industry.

Clodagh said: “Over the past year or so Fintan’s in depth commercial and organisational experience from his time in the industry has been something which we have found business leaders increasingly wanting to tap into his views on strategy and executive team development as levers to unlock material business growth”

Fintan commented: “Clodagh’s ownership of the existing business will enable me to focus on driving the business forward into new spaces. A key aspect of her role will be to lead and develop an ever expanding team of category directors and insight professionals who more than ever deliver our core services to clients.

Having worked with Clodagh for almost 10 years I know the Levercliff team will be in the best possible hands going forward.”
