From foundation to business BRi’s conversion to a technical consultancy business

Since June 2000 Dr Marek Kierstan (53) has been the new Chief Executive of Brewing Research International, Nutfield, UK. The new leadership, combined with structural changes in the industry, has brought about fundamental changes in the company strategy and structure.

Brauwelt International interviewed Dr Marek Kierstan to find out more about the ideas, the new structure and the new focus of this world renown brewing research institution.

Where are the roots of BRi?
Since its foundation by the British brewing industry in 1950, BRi was set up to just undertake collaborative research and until very recently it was funded almost exclusively by membership subscription. Over the decades its expertise was recognised and membership became more international.
