The Foster’s and Strongbow owner says Warby has left to “pursue a new challenge”. It is not known if she has a job to go to.

Stefan Orlowski, manager director of Heineken UK, will oversee marketing until a replacement is found.

Warby has been marketing director since 2008. Previously, she had stints as innovation director and marketing manager for Foster’s.

Orlowski says: “Sarah has worked relentlessly on delivering our portfolio, category and brand strategies and now feels that it is time to seek new challenges. I would like to thank her on behalf of us all, and take this opportunity to wish her well for the future.”
