After leaving the drinks firm last year, he has been Chief Executive of Food Freshness Technology, a high tech innovations company focused on delivering comprehensive solutions for food freshness.

Pets at Home Chairman Tony DeNunzio, said: "Paul's background and extensive experience and understanding of brand, marketing and consumer dynamics will be particularly useful as we continue to expand and grow Pets at Home.
