In his first official appearance since resuming as the Managing Director/CEO of Guinness Nigeria Plc, Mr. John O’Keeffe has paid a courtesy visit to the management of the Nigerian Stock Exchange and was given the honour of ringing the closing gong to bring trading activities to a close for the day.
Mr. O’Keeffe who made the visit in the company of his Executive leadership team cited the need to maintain and strengthen the existing relationship between the two institutions as one of the reasons behind the courtesy visit.
During the visit, Mr O’Keeffe used the opportunity to share his strategic plans towards enhancing operational efficiencies and maximising shareholder value for Guinness Nigeria. He discussed the depth of investment that Guinness Nigeria and its parent company, Diageo Plc have made in the Nigerian economy, including a N52b investment into increasing capacity launched in 2011 and recently completed at two of the organisations plants in Lagos and Benin. He went on to add that this level of investment was testament to the belief of the organisation in the potential of the Nigerian economy. “As well as extensive investments in the economy, we are investing behind our core brands like Guinness, Harp and Malta Guinness and are always looking for fresh new innovations to bring to market to meet the needs of our esteemed consumers.”
“About 18 months ago, we launched Orijin, which is made using natural herbs and fruits. The brand only uses natural sugar and contains no artificial sweeteners, unlike some of its competitors in the market which have as part of their ingredients at least two artificial sweeteners. It is the original and biggest bitters brand in the market and I am not surprised that discerning Nigerian consumers have embraced it. I wish to assure our consumers that they can expect more of such innovation from our stable in the near future”.
