New hop varieties used in craft beers are helping Malvern businesses grow – and reduce food miles in the brewing industry.
Hop merchants Charles Faram and growers Stocks Farm in Suckley are helping the area become known as a global centre of excellence.
Beverley Nielsen, economic development portfolio holder at Malvern Hills District Council, visited both businesses to find out how they’re creating new job opportunities.
“I want to learn more about businesses directly impacting our local economy, supporting sustainability and growing quality local jobs,” said Cllr Nielsen.
