Castel Malawi has appointed Gilles Leclerc as its new Managing Director.<\/p>\n
Leclerc takes over the mantle from Olivier Renson, barely a year after the company officially bought majority stakes in the then Carlsberg from conglomerate Press Corporation Limited (PCL).<\/p>\n
In a statement, Castel said Renson left Castel on May 11 2018.<\/p>\n
\u201cGilles Leclerc is the new Managing Director. He supersedes Mr Olivier Renson who left Castel Malawi on 11th May 2018,\u201d reads the statement in part.<\/p>\n
The statement rates Leclerc as a manager with vast experience.<\/p>\n
Among others, Leclerc has worked as director of finance for the Cuca Brewery in Angola and as managing director for Nocal Brewery in Angola, according to the statement.<\/p>\n
In an interview yesterday, Leclerc said he will focus on delivering quality products to customers.<\/p>\n
\u201cCustomers and consumers are at the heart of every decision we make.<\/p>\n
Listening and respecting our customers and consumers is one of our most important values shared among all employees within the group Castel Malawi.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wish to assure you that we will keep up our efforts to provide probably the best beer in the world in the \u201cWarm heart of Africa,\u201d Leclerc said.<\/p>\n
Castel has in recent months been rocked by complaints from consumers on poor product delivery.<\/p>\n
In January this year, the company recalled over 18,000 bottles of Sobo Orange squash from the market as it was unsafe for human consumption.<\/p>\n
Recently, some Carlsberg beer imbibers have been complaining on social media about the sour taste of the liquor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
