A popular microbrewery based on Wrexham industrial estate is going from strength to strength, the town’s MP has said.

Wrexham MP Ian Lucas called in at Big Hand, on the Redwither Business Park on Wrexham Industrial Estate, to meet with Dave Shaw and Andy Benson who run the ‘Big Hand’ microbrewery.

The company, which was established in 2013, is a family run microbrewery which supplies’ hand crafted real ales to Wales and the North West of England’.

During the visit, he discussed the challenges and successes that Big Hand had had since his last visit to their Wrexham premises shortly after they set up in the town.

Mr Lucas said: “I first called in at Big Hand shortly after they had opened, and we’ve kept in touch since then – I was delighted to welcome them down to the House of Commons and get their beer served in the Stranger’s Bar.

“However, I wanted to pop in for a catch up in Wrexham and we had a very interesting discussion during our visit. Dave and Andy are expanding and have some very interesting plans coming up, which we discussed.

“We also had an interesting talk about prospects for Wrexham Town Centre and I will be following up on that chat in the coming weeks.”
