The 13th annual awards ceremony at St. George's Park, Burton, was attended by over 100 industry professionals from 12 wholesalers who supply AB InBev. The shortlisted nominees are selected due to their outstanding services to the industry and their partnership with AB InBev, along with their ability to maximise growth across both distribution and volume of the brewers’ portfolio of global brands.
The programme allows us to continue to support our wholesaler partners, striving for operational excellence which also supports their strategic ambitions, while delivering our much-loved and world-renowned beers – Stella Artois, Budweiser, and Corona – to the UK hospitality industry and our consumers.
A massive congratulations to all our winners and shortlisted nominees of the Wholesale Excellence Awards – you are a driving force to the success of AB InBev.
Alexandra O’Neill, On-Trade Wholesale Commercial Controller at AB InBev said: “It’s a privilege and honour to lead this programme with our wholesalers, that supports excellence in the sector. “It’s always a great experience to join together as a community, to celebrate each other’s success and continue our partnership to bolster an industry that we all love.”
