Scottish Newcastle (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Scottish Newcastle plc was a "long alcoholic drinks" (LADs) company with positions in 15 countries, including UK, France and Russia. It was headquartered in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. In the last 20 years, S N expanded significantly from its home base to become an international business with beer volumes growing almost tenfold. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange and was once a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index but it was acquired jointly by Heineken and Carlsberg in April 2008, with the company's assets being split between them. The trading name "Scottish Newcastle UK" continued to be used, until November 2009, to denote the UK trading operation of Heineken International until it was renamed "Heineken UK." The Scottish Newcastle name lives on through the former "S N Pub Enterprises" leased pub division which has been renamed "Scottish Newcastle Pub Company."
