The news: Drinks group Endeavour has poached Tabcorp senior executive Paul Carew as the new managing director of its ALH Hotels division.
The numbers: Carew, who is currently chief operating officer at Tabcorp, will start his new role in the new year. He has spent more than 18 years in leadership roles in gaming and entertainment.
The context: Carew will replace Paul Walton, who has been ALH’s interim head since Mario Volpe stood down in 2023 due to ill-health. Walton will return to his main role leading the group’s Pinnacle Drink’s business, the company said. The appointment follows the recent announcement that Endeavour chief executive Steve Donohue will step down after six years.
Endeavour is Australia’s biggest alcoholic drinks retailer and operates both Dan Murphy's and BWS retail store chains, as well as the country's largest portfolio of pubs and hotels.
It was formed in 2018 through the amalgamation of ALH Hotels Group and Endeavour Drinks, and subsequently spun off from supermarkets giant Woolworths, before listing on the ASX in 2021.
