Nestlé has appointed Thomas Conquet as managing director of its Waters and Premium Beverages business in the UK.
Conquet succeeds Stefano Bolognese, who left Nestlé in April 2026 after 26 years with the company. Conquet joins the UK division from Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages USA, where he served as senior director of brand marketing.
He has been with Nestlé since 2008 and has held roles across several of the group’s brands, including Perrier, S.Pellegrino, Acqua Panna, Nestlé Pure Life and Maggi.
During his time in the US business, Conquet was involved in expanding Nestlé’s premium beverage portfolio and developing consumer-focused initiatives.
In his new role, he will lead Nestlé Waters & Premium Beverages in the UK, which operates as a standalone global business within the wider Nestlé Group. Its UK portfolio includes S.Pellegrino, Acqua Panna, Buxton, Princes Gate and Nestlé Pure Life.
The company has also been expanding its presence in the premium beverages category, with recent UK launches including Inspired by Buxton Peak and Maison Perrier.
Conquet will work alongside the wider leadership team to oversee the business’ strategic priorities and portfolio development.
He said: “I’m excited to be joining the team at such a pivotal time. The business has strong momentum and an exceptional portfolio of brands. I look forward to building on this success and deliver even more value for our customers and consumers.”
