One of the best known names in the UK beer industry has left brewing giant InBev as part of a major restructuring of its senior management team.

John Warren, former group finance director of WH Smith, has been appointed as independent non-executive director of Arla Foods UK. He succeeds Peter Cawdron, who retires from the role this month.
Unilever Foodsolutions UK has appointed Simon Marshall as MD. He joins from Unilever Home and Personal Care in Ireland, where he was also MD. Marshall takes over from Calum Ross, who moved to Brazil last month to head up Unilever’s foodservice operation in Latin America.
