A2 Milk is a joint venture established in November by UK milk supplier Robert Wiseman Dairies and New Zealand’s A2 Corp. In the summer it will release a range of A2 milk products aimed at UK consumers who find milk hard to digest.

Before Suso, Uprichard was co-founder and general manager of Relentless Energy, an energy drink joint venture established by The Coca-Cola Co. and its bottler Coca-Cola Enterprises. He also filled senior sales and marketing roles with L’Oreal and Unilever.

Robert Wiseman, chairman of A2 Milk, said: “Sean’s experience working in brand marketing and sales, dealing with UK retailers and operating in a JV structure combined to make him the outstanding candidate for the role of CEO.”
