Phil Toms, director of brands at Charles Wells Brewing Co, is to leave the company next month, M&C Report understands.

Toms, who had been in the role since October 2012, is leaving to become a freelance marketing consultant.

He said: “After nearly three years, I have decided to resign from position at Charles Wells and will leave the business at the end of July. I’m massively proud of the work I’ve led and been involved in but now feels like the time to follow my heart.”
