incredibly interesting to be a part of this change ,” she said . “ The company has enabled me to work with my global counterparts , to understand and apply the best procurement practices across the two organisations globally . The concept of being an owner and dreaming big has allowed me to drive ideas that I am passionate about and that will build our business . “
As with any merger , particularly one involving one of the largest brewing companies worldwide , how much of what made it the leading brewer in
Africa will still remain ? “ A year down the line , AB InBev has adopted or absorbed some of the best practices from SABMiller ,” said
Premraj . “ We operate as one company - one organisation - and we apply a set model consistently across all parts of the globe , which is made up of the best of both companies .”
Hauxwell believes that the only way the company can grow in Africa is to grow Africa itself .
“ We want to make sure that people in this continent understand that we ’ re here to make a difference by growing the communities we operate in . As we progress into the future that will become much clearer and , in 10 years from now , we will be known as the best company on the continent , and the most preferred company to work in . That for me , personally , is what it ’ s all about . Delivering real value , and growth for both people that work within the organisation and for the communities in which we operate .”
