BrewDog chief executive and co-founder James Watt has confirmed plans for a stock market listing.
Rumoured to potentially be worth around £2bn for the Ellon-based brewer, it has appointed law firm Freshfields to help prepare.
A reshaped top team also now includes chief financial officer Niall McCallum and former Asda boss Allan Leighton, who joined as its chairman and Watt's mentor four months ago.
