GAGE Roads Brewing Co has appointed PKF partner Ian Olson (pictured) as chairman following the sudden departure last month of Michael Perrott, who quit after only a year in the role and just two days prior to the resignation of the company’s then managing director, Peter Nolin. Mr Olson recently relinquished the managing partner role at PKF to Craig Melville. Gage Roads has also bolstered its board with two more non-executive appointments. Brett Fraser, former Redwave Media Ltd owner and chairman of Drake Resources Ltd and Aura Energy Ltd, is joined by Robert Gould on the board. Mr Gould is chairman of Western Kingfish Ltd. They join fellow non-executive director Paul McKenzie, who has been on the board since 2004 and executive directors and two of the company’s original co-founders Bill and John Hoedemaker.
