C & C GROUP PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY
C & C Group Public Limited Company is an Irish public limited company incorporated on 19 March 2004 and registered with the Companies Registration Office under number 383466. Its registered office is at Bulmers House, Keeper Road, Crumlin, Dublin 12, and its CRO record lists the company’s status as active, with a principal activity classified as management activities of holding companies (SIC 74.15).
Trading as C&C Group plc, the company is the top holding entity of a vertically integrated drinks group that manufactures, markets and distributes branded and third-party beer, cider and other beverages. Its own brand portfolio includes Bulmers and Orchard Thieves cider in Ireland and the Magners cider brand internationally, together with Tennent’s lager, produced through its Scottish subsidiary Tennent Caledonian Breweries at the Wellpark Brewery in Glasgow. The group also operates a drinks wholesale and distribution business in Great Britain through Matthew Clark and Bibendum, supplying wine, beer and spirits to on-trade and off-trade customers. C&C Group plc’s core markets are Ireland and Great Britain, with export sales of its cider brands to other markets including the United States.
C&C Group plc’s shares trade on the main market of the London Stock Exchange under ticker CCR (ISIN IE00B010DT83). The company previously listed on Euronext Dublin but cancelled that listing with effect from the close of business on 7 October 2019, retaining its premium listing on the Official List of the UK Financial Conduct Authority and trading solely on the London Stock Exchange since; it remains incorporated and tax resident in Ireland.
For the financial year ended 28 February 2026 ("FY2026"), C&C Group plc reported consolidated group net revenue of €1,569.8 million, a decline of 5.7% on the €1,665.5 million reported for FY2025, and adjusted EBITDA of €104.3 million, according to its final results announced on 19 May 2026. The company attributed part of the revenue decline to the planned exit of contract manufacturing and distribution volumes for Budweiser Brewing Group in the Republic of Ireland, together with challenging hospitality-market trading conditions affecting its Distribution business. The same results reported net revenue growth in the group’s core Bulmers and Tennent’s brands and the launch of new branded products such as Tennent’s Bavarian Pilsner.

Shareholders of C & C Group Public Limited Company
C&C Group plc is a widely held public company whose shares trade on the London Stock Exchange, so its complete shareholder register is not publicly available; investors need only notify the company once a holding crosses set percentage thresholds under the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s Disclosure and Transparency Rules (5% and each subsequent 1%) and, separately, under Ireland’s Companies Act 2014 (3% and each subsequent 1%).
Based on the most recent threshold notifications reviewed, FIL Limited (part of the Fidelity group of companies, registered in Hamilton, Bermuda) is the largest disclosed shareholder, reporting a total interest of 11.7117% of voting rights as of 6 July 2026, comprising 9.3845% held directly through ordinary shares and 2.3272% held through cash-settled contracts for difference; this represented a decrease from FIL’s previously notified position of 12.9532%. Jupiter Fund Management PLC separately notified that its holding crossed the 4% threshold of voting rights on 21 August 2026, taking its position to 4.00%, up from a previously notified 3.26%.
No shareholder in the filings reviewed has disclosed a holding at or above 25% of voting rights or share capital.
Data availability
Shareholder information for C&C Group plc is available on a major-shareholders-only basis: only holdings that cross the applicable 3%/5% UK and Irish notification thresholds are publicly reported, so smaller or newly built positions below those thresholds are not visible in this profile, and no complete shareholder register is publicly available for a listed company of this kind.

Directors and officers of C & C Group Public Limited Company
Per C&C Group plc’s own corporate governance disclosure (retrieved 24 September 2026), the current Board comprises a Non-Executive Chair, two Executive Directors and six Independent Non-Executive Directors, supported by a Company Secretary. Ralph Findlay OBE serves as Non-Executive Chair; Roger White is Chief Executive Officer, having been appointed to that role with effect from January 2025; and Adam Phillips serves as Chief Financial Officer. The Independent Non-Executive Directors are Chris Browne OBE (Senior Independent Non-Executive Director), Angela Bromfield, Jill Caseberry, Sanjay Nakra, Sarah Newbitt and Feargal O’Rourke, and Gillian Kyle serves as Company Secretary. The Board is supported by four committees: Remuneration, Nomination, Audit and Sustainability.
Separately, C&C Group plc’s Companies Registration Office record (registration number 383466) lists 54 officer appointments recorded across the company’s history, reflecting both current and former directors and secretaries. The registry extract underlying this profile, synced 24 September 2026, still records Independent Non-Executive Director Vineet Bhalla as an active appointment; this is superseded by C&C Group plc’s own regulatory announcement confirming his resignation (below), illustrating that CRO officer records can lag behind a company’s current board composition.
Recent officer changes
- Vineet Bhalla stepped down as an Independent Non-Executive Director with effect from 28 February 2026, to focus on his executive role at Cancer Research UK, as announced by C&C Group plc on 24 February 2026.
- Adam Phillips was appointed Chief Financial Officer, joining the company during April 2026.
- Roger White was appointed Chief Executive Officer with effect from January 2025.
Data availability
Director and officer information for C&C Group plc is drawn from the company’s own governance disclosures and its Irish CRO officer record; neither source publishes directors’ nationality, so nationality is not disclosed for any officer named in this profile. Addresses recorded at the CRO are correspondence addresses only and are not evidence of nationality or country of residence, and the CRO extract used here may not reflect the very latest board changes (see above).
