Food factory design and construction specialists Clegg Food Projects has completed a new state-of-the-art HQ for pub company Wells & Co.

Nottingham-based Clegg Food Projects delivered a multi-million pound purpose-built headquarters - named Brewpoint - for Wells & Co; after starting work on the site last summer and continuing through lockdown.

Wells & Co is an independent, family-owned business with a 190-strong portfolio of award-winning pubs.

The 20,000 sq ft Bedfordshire-based facility brings Wells & Co's new home together under one roof, with a pub-restaurant, retail shop, coffee roastery, offices, and a visitor centre that will offer guided tours.

The construction of the site and installation of its brewing facilities means Wells & Co has also been able to launch its online shop.

John Moxon, business development director at Clegg Food Projects - which is part of the Clegg Group - said: "We are absolutely delighted to see this fantastic flagship project complete for Wells & Co.

"Being involved in all aspects of project management – from the installation of the site's electric through to the fitting of specialist brewing equipment – has been something that the whole team has been proud to be a part of and we couldn’t be more pleased to now see the project come to life."

Peter Wells, managing director at Wells & Co, added: "After 143 years and five generations of family involvement, we didn't embarked on this lightly, but Brewpoint embodies the change of direction we have taken as a business and we couldn't be happier with the businesses' new home.

"It's expertly designed and allows us to produce a range of beer styles that we would not have dreamed of 10 years ago."
