Andy was born in London just in time to see England win the World Cup, and much later began his career in academia, gaining a PhD in American Literature and lecturing at several universities, including Maryland and Gothenburg in Sweden, and pursuing a sideline in sheep-farming before moving back to London and becoming a literary agent and TV documentary-maker (working for various broadcasters and making series such as the BBC’s Monsoon Railway, set in Bengal). He has written several biographies, including the Second World War story American Pimpernel, and became the official biographer of India’s Prime Minister (then Chief Minister of Gujarat) publishing Narendra Modi, a Political Biography (Harper Collins). Andy joined Asian Media Group in 2018, his first “proper” job, and has been there ever since, believing that, while trade journalism might not save the world, it might just save journalism.

Disaronno Group, a diversified multinational operating across nearly 160 countries with three divisions (Spirits, Wines and Ingredients), more than 800 employees and annual revenues of €370 million, today announced the completion of its acquisition of Amaro Averna and Zedda Piras from Campari Group.

The transaction, first agreed in December 2025, was closed on 28 May 2026.

“This acquisition is an important milestone in our growth strategy,” said Marco Ferrari, CEO of Disaronno Group. “It allows us to strengthen our international portfolio and reinforces our presence in key markets — the United States, Germany and Italy — through Amaro Averna. For Zedda Piras, our priority is to consolidate and grow its footprint in the Italian market.”

The closing follows the Group’s recent rebranding last month from Ilva Saronno Holding to Disaronno Group, a move designed to reinforce its global positioning.
