Joseph Holt award

Joseph Holt head office staff celebrate the win

 

Manchester brewer Joseph Holt has received a National Pub Aid award, presented and judged by the All-Party Parliamentary Beer Group.

It is awarded to the brewer or pub company throughout the country which has done the most to support its community by fundraising for local charities.

The award comes a year after Joseph Holt won the British Beer and Pub Association’s Heart of the
Community award for the second time, having previously won in 2014. No other company has previously held both these awards at the same time, and it would not have been possible, said a company spokesperson, without all the terrific support from our pubs, free trade licensees, customers and the brewery office.

Joseph Holt chief executive, Richard Kershaw, said: “I’m extremely proud of what we have achieved and I am
delighted that these awards so appropriately mirror the ethos of the company. Thank you to all who have supported us… indeed, without all of your hard work none of this would have been possible!”
