Starting a MicroBrewery

Many small scale brewers start out as hobbyists, making home brew and experimenting with flavours.

Setting up your own microbrewery takes a lot of experience, time and money but more and more people are doing so.  

The Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA)  was set up in 1980 and now has 786 members.  

We've come across a really interesting article online about starting your own microbrewery.  It has some really useful tips to consider, one of which is to buy used equipment.  Click here to read the article.

Meet Our New Administration Apprentice

You may have recently noticed a new name on the end of your instant quote and emails, or recognised a new voice on our phones.

Meet our new Administration Apprentice - Amy-Jo Saunders. 

Amy-Jo began working with Perry in November 2014 and is currently studying towards her Business and Administration Level 2 NVQ.  Working at Perry whilst studying allows her to gain valuable job experience and skills. 

Amy-Jo said "After finishing school I decided an apprenticeship was the best step for me to take. I am enjoying working with the Perry team and I am excited to further my skills".

In her spare time Amy-Jo is keen on raising money for charity, and recently completed NCS (National Citizen Service), which means she can access many more volunteering opportunities. In Summer 2014 Amy-Jo also took part in 2 residential trips and volunteered over 30 hours to organise a charity night in aid of Help for Heroes and local charity Heel to Toe, at which her team raised over £600. Her other interests include music and travelling.


We look forward to working further with Amy-Jo and helping her kick start her career.
