I posted this excerpt from the FT a couple of years ago: https://www.shrewdm.com/MB?pid=371019908

...which contained this from the CEO: "Two short quotes, the first in the one-that-got-away department: "Mars revealed last year that revenues had grown from $28bn to $45bn in Grant Reid's eight years as CEO...Mars now has 12 brands with sales above $1bn"

And the second, in the Hmmm-I-didn't-know-that file: "Mars Petcare...the world's largest provider of veterinary services...Mars now spends more than $500mn a year on scientific research, he said, and expects 'tremendous growth' from a new pet diagnostics division""

It would be nice to hear an update, if he ever gives another interview
