Brakspear chief executive, Tom Davies
Marston’s has signed a deal with pub operator Brakspear, which sees the company become the primary supplier of all wet products into the Brakspear pub estate.
The agreement, which will go live from November 1, will include all Brakspear pubs, giving them access to Marston’s brands portfolio, which recently grew with the acquisition of Charles Wells.
Building on an existing relationship with Brakspear, Marston’s, which has been brewing Oxford Gold and Brakspear Bitter under licence since 2002, also demonstrated updated state-of-the-art logistics technology and nationwide depots as part of its proposal, allowing an efficient supply of a range of brands to suit each pub.
Dave Saunders, head of national sales for Marston’s Beer Company, said: “We have enjoyed working with Brakspear for a number of years, so to become their official drinks supply partner for all product categories demonstrates the trust and shared vision between our two businesses. We are hugely excited and committed to making this partnership a great success for Brakspear and their licensees.”
Brakspear chief executive, Tom Davies, said: “This is a very positive move, extending the good relationship with Marston’s that we have built on cask ale across all the drinks sold in our pubs.
“For our licensees, the main benefit will be that all their drinks will come from one single supplier, making it easier for them to accommodate deliveries and liaise with one point of contact. They will also be able to choose from an extended range of products.”
