New Brewery Logistics Contract

Howard Tenens Logistics are pleased to have been awarded a new contract with Beavertown Brewery. The two companies have enjoyed a positive relationship since the beginning, with both sides recognising the mutual value delivered.

Founded in 2011, Beavertown Brewery is an award-winning brewery based in London, UK. With a commitment to quality and creativity, Beavertown produces a range of unique and exciting beers, like Neck Oil that have won critical acclaim and a loyal following.

The partnership between Howard Tenens Logistics and Beavertown Brewery began when they recognised a need to extend their operational footprint. The Beavertown Brewery team visited Howard Tenens Logistics site in Swindon and immediately felt that the ethos of the company matched their own, making it the right fit. Being a family-owned business offers a strong sense of commitment and dedication with a deep investment in success. Howard Tenens Logistics place high value on building and maintaining relationships with customers and this has proven successful with Beavertown Brewery. The recent acquisition of Beavertown Brewery by Heineken further highlighted the need for a logistics partner who could provide unique and scalable solutions to support their growth. Howard Tenens Logistics, with over 4.5 million square foot of warehouse space and a proven track record in the food and beverage industry, was well-positioned to deliver on this requirement.

Being a family-owned business with over 70 years of experience in the logistics industry, Howard Tenens Logistics has a focus on innovation, sustainability and offers a range of logistics solutions, including warehousing, transport, and value-added services.

Environmental sustainability was one of the key considerations for Beavertown when selecting Howard Tenens Logistics. The level of commitment to sustainability demonstrated by Howard Tenens Logistics was unparalleled, with initiatives such as CNG and HVO vehicles that helped reduce carbon footprint. These efforts were complemented by their targets of achieving Net Zero by 2045 and reducing annualCO2e emissions by 20% by 2030. These goals aligned with Beavertown’s own values, making Howard Tenens Logistics an ideal partner for them.

John Davis from Beavertown Brewery commented: “During the tender process, we were struck by the culture and values of Howard Tenens Logistics. We felt it was a perfect match for our company, as they were forward-thinking, innovative, and environmentally aware, and a family-oriented business. We have had a very positive experience with our working relationship.”

Cost effective solutions for businesses are a top priority at Howard Tenens Logistics. This commitment to excellence is reflected in the services offered at their site in Swindon, which is where Beavertown Brewery operates from. The Swindon site provides support for UK-wide distribution, with inbound support from Enfield and onwards to key delivery points. Howard Tenens implemented a wet bond on site during Beavertown’s onboarding, and since then, they have renewed their BRCGS certification, achieved a level 5 food hygiene rating and is currently going through Soil Association auditing.
