…company gears for expansion
Makers of the world-renowned El Dorado rums, Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL), has announced two new management appointments as that company gears for further growth and expansion.
Chairman Komal Samaroo, according to DDL, has appointed Lennox Shaun Caleb as Senior Process Improvement Manager, with Yeshwar “Joe” Bhagwandat, as the Senior Business Development Manager.
Caleb, who was a Queen’s College top student and a DDL Cadet, has pursued studies in Chemical Engineering at Princeton University. Having graduated in 2007, he joined DDL and quickly moved through the management ranks as Engineer, Project Manager, Engineering Services Manager and Distillery Manager, where he served until this most recent appointment.
In his new role, which took effect from March 1, last, Caleb will be responsible for identifying, planning and executing opportunities for improving and optimizing the efficiency of the Liquor Production Operations across the DDL Group.
DDL said that a key focus will be on exploring the availability and use of technology that can result in competitive advantage for the company.
Bhagwandat, who is the holder of an MBA from the University of Liverpool in the UK, joined DDL after working for a number of years with Colgate Palmolive Caribbean.
He started at Colgate Palmolive (Guyana) in 1995 and held various roles in that organisation- the most recent being Team Leader for the Western Caribbean.
He joined the DDL team in January, and “has been familiarising himself with our business relationships and arrangements both locally and in the Caribbean,” DDL said.
Commenting on the new appointments, the Chairman said: “I look forward to Shaun and Joe playing key roles in the further expansion and growth of DDL. They are both very well qualified and boast impressive track records in their careers so far. I believe their leadership in their respective areas of focus will further strengthen the DDL organisation.”
DDL also has the franchise for Pepsi and a host of other popular soft drinks.
