ST. PETER’S BREWERY GAINS RECOGNITION

The annual Food from Britain Export Awards, held at The Savoy in London, awarded St. Peter’s Brewery with the Drinks Exporter of the Year title. “We have put a great amount of effort into exporting,” said Colin Cordy, managing director at St. Peter’s Brewery. St. Peter’s supplies its extensive stock of beers and ales to 15 overseas markets, including the U.S., Canada, and Russia, making up nearly half of the brewery’s total sales. Simon Waring, marketing and international management director at Food from Britain, said, “The judges were extremely impressed with the company’s approach to export markets. It is passionate about exporting and has had huge successes through highlighting the ‘Britishness’ of its products. The only British brewer whose main focus is on exporting, this small company has big ambitions.”
