As part of its long-term leadership transition plan, producer-wholesaler KWV and owner of such brands as Cathedral Cellar, Laborie, The Mentors and Roodeberg, has announced the creation of a COO role, appointing John Loomes to this position. The present CEO, Boyce Lloyd, will exit his role early 2024, whereafter Loomes will take over as CEO and the COO role will fall away.
