About this Event
This event brings together finance professionals from across sectors for an insightful evening, covering real world examples of process improvement, implementing tools for budgeting and planning, and how to grow in the highly competitive UK drinks industry.
The evening will offer a unique opportunity to step inside Heineken UK’s business, hearing directly from colleagues working within the organisation about its strategy, commercial priorities, and the role finance plays in supporting decision‑making at scale.
Heineken UK is the nation’s leading beer, cider and pub company and the name behind a host of brilliant brands from Inch’s to Birra Moretti and many more. What’s more, when brewing and making beers and ciders that people love, they build them with staying power. More than 90% of the beers they sell in the UK are brewed here and around 30% of the nation’s apples go into their ciders. With around 2,350 pubs in the UK, Heineken's Star Pubs business is all about putting pubs at the centre of community life.
While the insights will be based on Heineken UK’s own experience, the session will also highlight transferable best practices, ideas, and approaches that attendees can apply in their own organisations, regardless of industry.
