We are delighted to announce that the Anchor Inn at Seatown are the winners of the Palmers Brewery Master Cellarman of the Year competition 2016.
Runners up are the Crown Bridport and Marquis of Lorne Nettlecombe.
Palmers 54 pubs are audited every four months and are scored on the quality of their cellar operations. This year a record 28 licensees achieved Master Cellarman status, scoring 145 out of a possible 150 points over the year.
Jayson Perfect, Palmers Tenanted Trade Director said ‘producing and serving our award winning real ales remains at the very heart of our business. We have seen the standard of cellars in our pubs improve year on year, this has been reflected in the scores achieved in the Master Cellarman competition and in the volume of real ale that our pubs sell.
‘Congratulations goes to Paul and his team at the Anchor who maintain an exceptional cellar in one of our busiest pubs.’
Last year’s winners, The Ropemakers in Bridport (who are not allowed to hold the trophy two years in a row) maintained their Master Cellarman status, even improving on their impressive score from 2015.
Cleeves Palmer has today announced that he will be retiring from Palmers and handing over responsibility for the Free Trade business to Josh Palmer Ramus. We wish Cleeves well after more than 43 years’ service to the Company. Coinciding with his retirement, the Company has agreed to buy back all outstanding shares held by Cleeves Palmer. John Palmer, Chairman and Managing Director said, “We are proud to announce this deal to take Palmers into the next chapter of the business’ 229 year history. A huge thank you to our staff, licensees and customers for their longstanding support, this is at the heart of what it means to us to be a family business. My daughter, Emily, and I look forward to continuing to work together to ensure Palmers is successful for generations to come.” For general queries please contact: enquiries@palmersbrewery.com For Free Trade enquiries please contact: tele.sales@palmersbrewery.com For all phone enquiries please call: 01308 422396
