Lowland Brewing 10th April 2018
Shares are selling quickly for Lowland Brewing; there are still some left but I am hopeful that they will sell out before too long.
We are making great progress with the premises in Lockerbie and the main brewery equipment will arrive in June and we will get started with brewing beer commercially after that; initially with Dryfe Blonde 5 and Dryfe Ale.
Gin production of Lockerbie Gin will take place later this year.
Enclosed is a share prospectus for anyone who is interested in buying one or more shares.
The cost per share is £500 and can be paid in one installment or over 10 months at £50 per month. You will get your own shareholder certificate and a monthly newsletter exclusive to shareholders. We plan to hold fun events for shareholders.
If anyone wants to buy shares please pm me or email

At the end of each month we tally up statistics to compare on previous months. I have been having a good look over how we are doing over the 1st quarter and we are up on nearly all counts which include relief jobs out, permanent placements still standing, turnover and adverts.
In 2016 we had 150 relief jobs out and, in this quarter we had 183 which is a 22% increase.
Permanent has gone up drastically from 36 in 2016 to 52 in 2018 which is a huge 44% increase over the past 2 year.
The only one which is slightly down or could say has stabilised is adverts. In 2016 it was 226, in 2017 it was 307 and this first quarter is 294 which is slightly down. This could be because social media makes it much easier for jobs to be advertised than it was a few years ago.
Turnover has increased 40.5% since 2016 despite having some outstanding bad debt with two companies one which we are going through legal proceedings with and one we will be starting with shortly if we don’t receive payment within the next week. No names mentioned! Although we have this debt outstanding the money banked over the first three months is up considerably on the previous two years which is good even though it is slightly down on the month of March as compared with 2017.
I will definitely be looking at the next 3 month period and fingers crossed we continue to grow through this transitionary period where we will be moving offices to 15 Well Street which we are certainly looking forward to.
We have 58 relief chefs out.
With 87 being booked out this month.
We will expect it to keep getting busier as we move into summer, my aim this year is to try and have 100 relief chefs out working at one time 😊

Hope everyone has a lovely Easter Weekend
