AB InBev-owned Budweiser Brewing Group UK&I has announced the appointment of Ollie Devon as Commercial Director for Convenience, Wholesale & Export.
He is replacing Sunny Mirpuri, who has taken the role of On-Trade Sales Director for the UK.
Devon joined the brewer more than eight years ago and has held a variety of senior commercial and finance roles. In his most recent role as Commercial Director for Grocery & E-Commerce, he is said to have led initiatives that enhanced the company’s growth and distribution within the two channels.
The Budweiser Brewing Group stated that Devon will be tasked with accelerating growth across its portfolio of beers, including Budweiser, Stella Artois, and Corona.
Mark Wingfield-Digby, Off-Trade Director, commented: “We’re excited to announce Ollie as our new Commercial Director for Convenience. He brings with him eight years of knowledge and success at the company, accumulated through other positions. We’re confident he will continue to build on all the excellent work Sunny delivered previously, and his experience will be vital in driving continued growth in the convenience and wholesale channel and supporting our customers.”
Devon added: “With the convenience sector continuing to excel, I am eager to spend time with new customers and collaborate on innovative growth initiatives together. It’s a big year for the convenience channel, with so many opportunities to attract consumers during the upcoming summer period filled with sporting competitions and celebratory moments with friends and family and I’m looking forward to diving in with the team.”
