I have been very pleased with both CBR's service in setting up the deal and supplying our containers as well as the backup and genuine interest in our business."

Our First Delivery!!
Peter Godwin, Managing Director of Close Brewery Rentals, makes the very first delivery of casks supplied under the unique term rental scheme to happy customer Catherine Murphy of Buntingford Brewery www.buntingford-brewery.co.uk
The Maisonneuve casks delivered from stock arrived looking shiny (it was a very wet day - can you tell?!?) and on the promised day and time. Peter was ably assisted by his 16 year old son who acted as camera man and drivers mate
Buntingford Brewery is near Royston in Hertfordshire, on a farm in a lovely rural setting. Peter commented "It is a superb start to our business to be able to supply a small brewery of this quality, and set against such a picture book backdrop".
With demand exceeding supply the casks Head Brewer Steve Banfield plans to use them to accelerate distribution of Buntingfords popular range of beers, coming just in time for seasonal brews "Blink Bonny" and "Western Harrier".
Catherine commented "with sales of cask beer growing strongly we have been struggling to meet demand for some time. Close Brewery Rentals have been friendly and helpful, and delivered a great service".
"Whilst Buntingford have recently installed a cask tracking system and are very pro-active at looking after their casks, the knowledge that Close Brewery Rentals will also be backing this up with its own activity is very reassuring."
