Brewing Industry Experience
As Director R&D at South African Breweries in the
70’s, Dr. Murray’s main contribution was the
development of a new cost-effective brewing process.
The success of this work still forms the basis of the
brewing process that makes SAB one of the most efficient
brewers in the world. With Grand Metropolitan (now Diageo)
his main challenge as Technical Director of the Brewing
Division was new brand development where he worked in
intimate association with IDV. On joining the Fosters-Courage
Group operations in the UK as General Manager-Integration

of change and the rationalising of UK operations. As
an Associate Director of Brewing Research International,
he has been engaged in international consultancy in
maltings, brewing, brands management and project management.
