SIBA moves into first head office

The Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA), the group representing mainly smaller brewers, is to move into its first ever head office at the National Brewery Centre (NBC) in Burton-upon-Trent this month.

The new office will house SIBA's chief executive Julian Grocock and a small support team headed by national manager Charlie Gorham.

Grocock said: "I can't think of a better home for the body representing the UK's craft brewing industry than the National Brewery Centre.

"We share the NBC's ambition to revitalise British beer and bring it to a new generation of drinkers and by sharing a building we believe we will be able to support each other very effectively in fulfilling this aim. This is a perfect partnership."
