The award-winning, Alva-based craft brewer, which currently employs 19 staff, intends to increase its workforce after recently opening the doors of its new 11,000 sq. ft. warehouse and office complex.? The funding to support the new expanded premises was provided by Clydesdale Bank?s Stirling Business & Private Banking Centre.
The company plans to recruit a further six staff in early 2013, ahead of the launch of its new range of beers early in the New Year. This follows on from a 30% increase in its staff numbers during 2012.
Harviestoun Brewery was established more than 30 years ago and has been under its current ownership since 2008. Since the change of ownership, the company has increased the percentage of its turnover derived from international markets from 2% to 20% and now exports to 21 countries in key markets such as Scandinavia, North America and Brazil.
Harviestoun Brewery prides itself on being entirely self-contained and the fact it does not brew for anybody else or have any of its renowned craft beers brewed off site.
Chris Miller, managing director of Harviestoun Brewery, said: ?This is further good news for us and the local community as it means we will be supporting yet more local jobs. 2013 promises to be an exciting year for us and we look forward to welcoming our new staff at this time.
?Our ethos has always been to be recognised as the best rather than one of the biggest mass producers, which is evidenced by the quality and popularity of our craft beers. Since moving to Clydesdale Bank last year, we have been impressed by the support and commitment which we?ve received to help deliver our business aims.?
Stuart McCallum, Clydesdale Bank?s Regional Lead for the Food and Drink Sector, said: ?Harviestoun Brewery is a strong Scottish company, producing a traditional Scottish product with a twist to an international customer base. It is extremely pleasing to see the company?s expansion continuing in to 2013 and beyond.
?The continued success of Scotland?s food and drink export market is a key element in the Scottish economy and we believe Harviestoun Brewery is a leader in modern craft brewing.
