| Jordi Borrut Bel. New MD/CEO, Nigerian Breweries Plc. |
The pioneer and leading brewing company in
Nigeria,
Nigerian Breweries Plc in her bid to reposition for better efficiency and
purpose driven management has announced the appointment of Mr. Jordi Borrut Bel
as the Company’s new Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.
The
appointment which takes effect from January 22, 2018 will see Mr. Borrut Bel
succeed the current Managing Director, Mr. Johan Doyer who has served on the
capacity on an interim basis since June 16, 2017.
Popularly
known as “the Board”, the Board of Directors of NB Plc has informed the
Nigerian Stock Exchange of the appointment as it is customary.
Mr.
Borrut Bel is currently the Managing Director of HEINEKEN’s subsidiary in
Burundi, Brarudi S.A. and a Board member of Bralirwa Limited, Rwanda, also a
HEINEKEN subsidiary in Rwanda.
The
new MD joined HEINEKEN Spain in 1997 as Sales Representative and subsequently
held increasingly senior management positions in different countries, first as
Distribution Project Manager in Slovakia, Brand Manager in France and Trade
Marketing Manager at the Head Office in The Netherlands. In 2006, he returned
to HEINEKEN Spain where he evolved in the organization and eventually became
the On-Premise and Distribution Director and a member of the Management Team.
In
2015, Mr. Borrut Bel was appointed the Managing Director of Brarudi S.A. and
successfully led the company through a very turbulent period, strengthening the
company’s route-to-market and launching successful innovations.
The
Board is confident that Mr. Borrut Bel’s track records and broad experience
stands him in a very good position to drive Nigerian Breweries Plc’ strategy
and consolidate its leadership position in the Nigerian market.
In
a related development, the Company has also announced the resignations of Mr.
Victor Famuyibo (Human Resource Director) and Mr. Hubert Eze (Sales Director)
from the Board with effect from January 27, 2018 and January 31, 2018 respectively.
While
Mr. Famuyibo’s resignation follows his attaining the Company’s
mandatory retirement age of 60 years, Mr. Eze’s resignation is preparatory
to his taking up a higher role in the HEINEKEN organization.
Furthermore, NB Plc has informed the
Nigerian Stock Exchange of the appointment of Mrs. Grace Omo-Lamai and Mr. Uche
Unigwe as part of the Management Team of the Company in the positions of Human
Resource Director and Sales Director respectively.
Mrs.
Omo-Lamai joined the Company on October 23, 2017 from Nigerian Bottling Company
Ltd, where she was the Director of Human Resources, while Mr. Unigwe, on the
other hand, joined the Company in 1989 as a Trainee Brewer. He is currently the
General Manager, HEINEKEN East Africa, based in Nairobi. He resumes in his role
as Sales Director on January 15, 2018.
