West Berkshire Brewery PLC (WBB) – an independent brewery that makes award-winning beers: We aim to build a state of the art brewery, own a showcase pub and increase sales of our premium beers

Newbury, United Kingdom

Introduction

The West Berkshire Brewery PLC (WBB) is an independent brewery that makes award-winning beers, has grown 20% for the year to November 2015* and has tremendously exciting plans to build a much larger brewing facility and to buy its first pub.

The brewery was founded in 1995 and is situated in Yattendon, Berkshire from where it produces a range of bottled, kegged and cask-conditioned beers and lagers for which over 40 awards have been won, including Champion Strong Beer of Britain.

The company currently employs 19 people. Sales in the year to March 2015 were up 23% on the previous year,* and at the current rate of growth, the directors believe the brewery will reach its production and storage capacity within two years.

This campaign is intended to provide the widest opportunity for our customers, consumers and all interested investors to beer part of our journey.

** Please note, the company has an option agreement in place for 6% of the issued capital which will convert on a 4m raise. This conversion has been factored in to the equity offered. Should 5m be raised then the conversion will increase to 7.5% which would result in a slight dilution for the investors in this round.
