Edi Stark talks to C&C Group chairman Sir Brian Stewart, formerly of Scottish & Newcastle and Standard Life.
If you think a company chairman is stuffy, think again. Although he's long been a key player in business and industry, a master of corporate restructuring and a globally respected figure in business finance, Sir Brian Stewart rarely agrees to be interviewed but in talking to Edi Stark he proves himself to be a terrifically engaging subject.
He was knighted in 2002 for his contribution to industry long before he had to prove his unflappable nerve and brinkmanship as chairman of Standard Life through demutualisation in 2006 and at Scottish and Newcastle, Britain's biggest independent brewer when it was taken over in 2008.
At his home in Edinburgh, he talks candidly and with humour about his achievements and regrets in a career adventure that spans five decades and explains why the pub is still a great democratic institution.
