Luke Raven – Owner, The Ilkley Brewery Co Ltd.

  • Speaker Bio:

    With over 10 years of direct hospitality experience, I was included in 2009s Who’s Who publication Britain’s Young Business Elite in recognition of founding Sandinista Ltd, which now comprises 5 bars and restaurants in Leeds and Manchester. In 2010 I began a career in Brewing, learning the ropes in Western Australia, before returning to the UK to take up a role as Sales and Marketing Manager at Ilkley Brewery. In April 2015 I set up Half Full Beer Co, which took on majority ownership of Ilkley Brewery in August of that year. Ilkley Brewery, a Living Wage Employer, now has 20 staff, and produces 40,000 pints each week, which is distributed across the UK and beyond.
