Across a 12 month period, Laura Rangeley has celebrated 10 years working at Abbeydale Brewery in Sheffield. And in October last year, alongside the rest of the team, Laura and her colleagues became part of an Employee Ownership Trust, taking ownership of the business from founders Patrick and Sue.
Not only that her colleague and husband Jim was recognised as the Brewer of the Year at our very own Brewers Choice Awards, too….At the celebrated Abbeydale Brewery in Sheffield, Laura walked through the doors some 10 years ago and never looked back. In that time the marketing and communications manager, and now also co-owner, has seen much change both in the business and her role. And with a myriad of positive changes to have taken place at the business, the brewery is also gearing up for its 30th anniversary in 2026. So in this episode, we speak to Laura about her own journey in beer, her professional development and as co-owner of the Sheffield business, why Abbeydale Brewery feels very much like home.
