UB Ltd. and S&N revamp top management
Bangalore: The UB group, in tandem with their foreign partner Scottish & Newcastle (S&N) Plc, has revamped the top management of their beer business, even as they have merged the operations of their two beer entities - United Breweries (UB) Ltd and Millennium Alcobev Ltd (MABL) - under the banner of the former company.

The UK-based brewing giant (S&N), which picked up 37.5 per cent stake in United Breweries (UB) Ltd, has announced the name of Ms Lesley Jackson as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of UB Ltd.

Kalyan Ganguly will continue to head UB Ltd with a new designation of Chief Executive Officer, while the Managing Director of MABL, Ravi Jain could take up some other assignments within the UB group.

Ganguly will be assisted by three Executive Vice-Presidents - N.K. Mittal, who will look after manufacturing, Shekar Ramamurthy, who will spearhead marketing and sales, and Joe Noronha, who will be in-charge of the HR functions.

Ms Jackson, who comes on board as CFO, was earlier the finance director of UK's cider maker HP Bulmers, which was acquired by S&N last year.

After the just announced operational merger, UB Ltd will be managing beer sales of over 44 million cases in an overall domestic market pegged at about 85 million cases annually.
