Harrogate-based beer distribution company BeerHawk.co.uk has moved to Saltergate Business Park in response to demand for its speciality beers, and in anticipation of increased trade ahead of the Christmas period.

Chris France, director of Beer Hawk says: “We pride ourselves on hunting down the word’s very best beer, stocking more than 300 delicious ales from across the globe to offer to beer lovers in their own homes nationwide.

“Consumer demand and interest in the craft beer market has seen us grow rapidly in size over the past twelve months. This move means that we are perfectly positioned - in every sense – to quench the thirst of Britain’s beer lovers.”

National property consultants Carter Jonas are managing agents for Saltergate Business Park with senior surveyor Henry Erdozain overseeing the letting.

Henry Erdozain commented: “Saltergate is an attractive business park for many North Yorkshire businesses because of it rural location, good mix of tenants and excellent transport links.

“We’re delighted to welcome Beer Hawk as the latest occupier at the park and to see the company continuing to expand.”
