Company Introduction

Aston Manor are the UK's number one independently owned cider producer and the country's third largest, with 1.4 Million hectolitres of cider produced last year. The company operates from three sites, the brewery and head office in Birmingham, extensive orchards and pressing facility in the Malvern Hills and a fermenting and bottling plant in Devon.

In addition to excellence in quality, value and range, innovation is central to the business; as an example Aston Manor is the only UK company to bottle beers and ciders in a crown cork finished plastic bottle which is safer than the glass-alternative in hospitality events. We are also the largest supplier of own-label cider in the country. The business is a major force in contract packaging, packing glass, cans and PET from 33cl up to 3 litres.

Mission Statement

Aston Manor Brewery always strives to achieve quality and value to create a broad range of Cider and Perry brands worldwide and to be the No. 1 Own Label and Contract Packing service for business customers globally.


Company Values

Building a sucessful business through shared values

Aston Manor clearly recognises that the quality, motivation and performance of our employees are key success factors.

The organisational structure and culture promote employee involvement, open communication, teamwork and cooperation, with accountability at all levels. Continuous investment in the plant and ongoing training for employees are recognised and vital to continued growth.

It's our belief that innovation breeds efficiency

We constantly seek to reduce costs without sacrificing quality. Customers get value through efficiency, while we stay ahead of the competition with innovative new products and services based on customer need and market demand.

Relationship-building

Aston Manor Brewery has been built on long term, strategic relationships, trust, loyalty and respect. This means listening to the wants and needs of consumers, distributors and suppliers and constantly striving to exceed those expectations.

Experience is knowledge

Experience is knowledge, and this, together with the benefits of owning our own orchards, pressing our own apples, fermenting our own juice, crafting and blending our own ciders, bottling and packaging all our products and finally delivering on our transport fleet to suppliers provides our customers with a total 100% 'in house' service second to none in the industry.


Giving something back

To help reduce the carbon footprint of the business, we outsource as few services as possible. One major example is that we blow many of our own PET bottles to reduce the environmental impact of transporting bottles in large numbers. The company also adhere to the promotion of responsible drinking, beyond industry standards.
