Fifth generation members of the Cooper brewing dynasty were urged to forge their own careers by their fourth-gen father when their Australian family business was struggling to survive in the 1970s.
Melanie Cooper (pictured), 58, finance director at Coopers Brewery and chairwoman of the Coopers Brewery Foundation, said entering the family business was something she and her brother Tim Cooper (pictured), 63, now managing director, aimed for when growing up.
“We grew up opposite the brewery,” Melanie told CampdenFB.
