Dublin, London, 30 March 2009: C&C Group plc ('C&C' or the 'Group'), today announced that John Holberry has indicated that he will step down from the Board and his executive position at C&C in August 2009. John joined the Group in March 2008 as Managing Director, Magners GB from Coors Brewers Limited where he had been Managing Director, Coors Sales Operations, since 2001.

John Holberry commented "I have enjoyed working in C&C and building the Magners GB team over the last year. However the appointment of the new management team, headed by John Dunsmore, reduces the opportunities for me to develop my career. I will be working with John over the coming months to ensure a successful transition and wish him and all the C&C team every success in the future."

John Dunsmore, CEO of C&C Group commented "We would like to thank John for his significant contribution to Magners GB since his appointment. We are delighted that he will work with us to ensure a smooth transition to the new management structure and offer him our best wishes for the future."
