AB InBev have announced the results for the first quarter 2020 of their global business. Paula Lindenberg, President for UK & Ireland, Budweiser Brewing Group, said: “During this unprecedented period, our number one priority at Budweiser Brewing Group has been the safety of our employees and communities where we operate. Throughout this time, we have been implementing the highest safety standards at our sites, adapting as a business to meet our customers’ changing needs, and launching initiatives to support our customers and frontline workers.
“In Q1, our UK business grew in market share and our brands, including Budweiser, Corona, Stella Artois and Bud Light, performed strongly, with Stella Artois as the #1 most valuable beer brand in UK Off-Trade.
“In our breweries, we have been adapting our production to create hand sanitiser and disinfectant to be distributed to key workers. We are pleased to have been able to distribute free of charge more than 10,000 litres of hand sanitiser and disinfectant to frontline workers in our local communities, including the Metropolitan Police, Gwent Police, South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, care homes, doctors’ surgeries and other vital services.
“We’ve also been working with our customers to understand and serve their changing needs. For instance, we quickly developed and implemented direct delivery services for several customers, to ensure we were able to keep stock on shelves.”
