In 2010 they were joined by eldest daughter Kate and her husband Alex and they have since taken over the day to day running and business development of the Brewery.
The Brewery has gone from strength to strength and we couldn’t have done this without our team of talented brewers, quality focused bottlers and passionate sales and delivery folk.
Our brewers make sure our beers are brewed to perfection, while also ensuring that the casks that go out to pubs and bars are in top condition.
“Originally from Tasmania, Andrew is now right at home brewing beer in the Yorkshire Wolds as our Brewing Production Manager”
“The newest member of our brewing team, Henry our Technical Brewer is the brains behind our seasonal beers”
“Our longest serving team member – Tony is now Cellar Manager ensuring all our casks are kept in top condition”
“A new team member – Huw helps to keep the cellar in check and has recently completed his brewing course!”
Taking beer destined for packaging and by conditioning, filtering and testing it, make sure every bottle that leaves our site is perfect. All our beer is packaged by us which means we always control every aspect of its quality.
“Keeping our bottles perfect for 10 years – Tom is the boss in bottling”
“A key member of the bottling team – Nigel’s been here for nearly 10 years now!”
“Our newest bottler, originally from Australia and often found on the rugby pitch”
Whether they’re out and about delivering to our local customers and bars and restaurants, or keeping the warehouse moving our local service team are key.
“A part of the team for the last 16 years, Andy has worked in most departments but he’s now one of our delivery drivers”
“One of our delivery drivers, Ben also keeps the beer flowing at events by setting up our outdoor bars”
Then, behind the scenes we have the office team who keep us running on a day to day basis with sales, order processing, dispatch and accounts. There’s also the events team who plan and run all of our fabulous brewery events.
“Our brand ambassador who’s often out and about telling people what Wold Top is all about, Jo works with a lot of local retail and hospitality customers too!”
“Accounts manager and former wedding planner extraordinaire, Anne’s here for anything finance related”
“Josh completed an apprenticeship recently – He now works managing logistics and supermarket orders, he’s also in training to help out with accounts!”
“Managing the trade sales, Alex makes sure all the pubs and bars are stocked up with beer”
“Alice handles the office admin, dealing with enquiries and online orders – she’s also learning to do the brewery tour too!”
“Our events manager, and the face you’re most likely to see – Sam runs and plans all the events at the brewery”
“Manages the social media, design and marketing for the brewery – Hannah joined the team in 2024”
We’re more than just a brewery - situated on our 600 acre family farm we also employ a team of farm and garden workers to keep everything running smoothly.
“Our new farm manager started in November 2024 – Charlie’s bringing some fresh ideas to the farm”
“A member of the team for 10 years, Paddy keeps everything running smoothly on the farm and beyond”
