Moorhouse’s Brewery has confirmed that managing director David Grant has resigned after 14 years in the role.

Ina statement, Grant said: “After 14 very challenging but enjoyable years I have decided to move on to new pastures. We made great progress in those years despite an ever difficult market place.

“When I joined the brewery, despite our Black Cat beer having won the Champion Beer of Britain in 2000, the business was at a very low ebb indeed.

“But, with the support of an excellent team, that situation was turned around and we then built a new brewery to go forward brewing excellent beers for many years to come. I very much believe that Moorhouse’s beers are among the best in the country and deserve to be enjoyed in pubs throughout the land. I now wish the brewery well in beating those tough challenges in the years that lie ahead.”

Moorhouse’s director Ian Parkinson said, “David Grant has given outstanding service to the brewery over 14 years, working hard to transform Moorhouse’s from micro to regional status. His tireless energy has provided a strong platform for continued future growth, as we move into the next exciting chapter of the Moorhouse’s story. We sincerely thank him for his dedication and wish him well for the future in whichever challenges he chooses to tackle.”
