Tuatara Brewery Fastest Growing Manufacturer In Lower North Island
Tuatara Brewing Company
24 October 2012
Wellington’s award-winning Tuatara Brewing
Company has won the Deloitte fast 50 award for being the
fasterst growing manufacturer in the lower North Island.
This is the third time in the last four years that Tuatara
has won this section of the awards.
Director Sean Murrie said it is a pleasing result given that this year we have just opened our new brewery, which has allowed capacity to match sales. The new brewery was opened by Prime Minister John Key on 10 October 2012.
“Breweries are difficult to scale up without substantial investment and it is difficult to do whilst still meeting current sales. But now that is behind us we are looking forward to a great year of having plenty of room to accommodate all our beers and supply the array of customers”
Director Sean Murrie
says he is delighted by the result which he believes
reflects Tuatara’s dedication to maintaining quality even
while growing the business rapidly. “This is our twelth
year in operation and it has been a big one for the company.
Far from being distracted by the brewery move, Tuatara won a
gold and a bronze medal at the Japanese beer awards in
September, and a great showing at the NZ Beer awards,
winning best in class for Pilsner and Hefe, and also won the
award for best packaging.
The Tuatara range comprises
of the quenching Tuatara Hefe, easy-drinking Tuatara Helles,
crisp Tuatara Pilsner, juicy Tuatara India Pale Ale,
decadent Tuatara Porter, boisterous Tuatara Ardennes and the
hugely hoppy Tuatara American Pale Ale. They recently added
Double Trouble which features a 3D label, and is sold with a
free pair of 3D glasses. The Dominion Post ran a story on
the brewery opening showing John Key wearing a pair of the
branded specs.
Entry to the Deloitte Fast 50 was open
to New Zealand registered businesses operating for at least
three years who had operating revenue of at least $300,000
in 2007/2008.
