Carib Brewery held its Distributor Conference at the Hyatt Regency, Trinidad from October 12 to 14.
The three-day conference was attended by representatives from 25 countries including Anguilla, Barbados, Costa Rica, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, St Kitts & Nevis, St Maarten, USA and the United Kingdom.
Under the theme “Partnering for Growth”, the agenda included sessions on developing a solid supply chain, global brand deployments, optimising sales and strengthening route-to-market.
The event enabled the participants to deep dive into the Brewery’s business strategies, while sharing insights and best practices from their respective markets.
Carib Brewery’s managing director, international and business development, Adrian Sabga, said this year’s conference was hinged on fostering a stronger relationship between Carib Brewery and its distributors as these relationships are key for business success.
The last distributor conference took place in 2018. The agenda also afforded participants the opportunity to experience trade visits to various bars and restaurants within the Port-of-Spain area.
Carib Brewery said this initiative to bring together its distributors highlighted its continued commitment to supporting its global partners in driving the export growth of its distinctive beverage brands.
