Historyarrow

In 1978, Vijay Mallya launched Kingfisher Premium beer, inspired by the defunct brand from United Breweries Group which was introduced in 1857. As the Advertising Standards Council of India banned alcohol advertisements in India, the UB Group began to promote the brand through surrogate advertisements of Kingfisher mineral water. After the group began operating Kingfisher Airlines in 2005, advertisements made their way into airplane cabins. In the United States, the company promoted the Kingfisher beer by de-ethnicizing the brand.

Missionarrow
Our ambition is to become the leading home improvement company and our purpose is to make home improvement accessible for everyone.
Visionarrow
The ONE Kingfisher plan is leveraging the scale of the business by creating a unified company, where customer needs always come first. Our intention is to deliver a £500 million sustainable annual profit uplift by the end of Year 5.
