A local woodworking business has supplied personalised, handmade pump clips and tap handles to international brewery, Thornbridge, based in Bakewell.
William Firth Woodcraft is an independent woodworking workshop based in the village of Scorton, in Lancashire. All the products created in the workshop are handmade using traditional processes and best practices. Supplying to stockists and breweries up and down the country, March 2018 has seen the business supply to their biggest Brewery yet.
Thornbridge Brewery started brewing in 2005, out of the grounds of Thornbridge Hall in Bakewell. From being an original 10 barrel brewery, to winning over 350 awards and boasting over 86,000 social media followers, the Brewery now operates from two sites and the company have many Pubs and a wide variety of beers that is supplied internationally.
William Firth Woodcraft were tasked to create personalised Pump Clips for several different beers, as well as Tap Handles to go with them. Produced from American Black Walnut, an initial shape was created that was followed for each clip, making each uniform but still completely handmade. The same process was then followed for each Tap Handle before each product being finished with personalisation from the laser etching machine.
William Firth said “We have worked with a variety of Breweries in the last year and we love the challenge that each gives us. This project was something quite new for us, and it was a pleasure to be approached by such a large company, who we have thoroughly enjoyed working with and look forward to working with long into the future.”
