Arkell's Welcomes Chancellor's Budget Freeze on Beer Duty

Following the Autumn budget and the Chancellor's freeze on beer duty, below is a quote from Arkell's Brewery - a family brewer in Swindon which this year celebrates it's 175th anniversary.

George Arkell, MD, Arkell's Brewery said: “We welcome today's news of the freeze on beer duty. The Government's support in the growth and innovation of our sector has enabled us to make strong investments in our brewery in recent years, which is reflected in the quality and selection of beer we make. This is a positive thumbs up in the Government's confidence in pubs and breweries and the crucial social and economic contribution they make to the UK."
