Brew York chooses equipment finance to support growth

Our customer

Brew York was established in 2016 by two friends with a passion for craft beer. Since then, the brewery has grown quickly and now boasts several beers, as well as a tap room in the middle of York’s town centre. The brand is well-known for its rich flavours and quality.

The challenge

Since its inception, Brew York has collaborated with our equipment finance team. This flourishing partnership has enabled Brew York to invest in essential equipment during two pivotal moments; firstly, when the brewery opened and they needed fermenting vessels and other key equipment to craft their beer. Secondly, during the pandemic, the business’ operations had to change rapidly, and the brewery decided to invest in a canning line. This allowed them to diversify and distribute their product directly to consumers.

The solution

Leveraging the innovative equipment finance solutions provided by Close Brothers, Brew York turned their ambitions into reality. This strategic financial support allowed the brewery to invest in state-of-the-art infrastructure, ensuring their growth and adaptability without straining their finances.

The result

“The team at Close Brothers are easy to work with. We’ve been able to access the funding we need and maintain a long-term, supportive relationship.

“Being able to invest in the equipment we needed when we opened six years ago, and more recently during lockdown, enabled us to adapt as a business.”
