Business does deal to be exclusive exporter for cider-maker
A MIDDLEWICH business is celebrating after coming to an agreement with a cider-maker at the opposite end of the country.
Cheers Global is to be the exclusive exporter for Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm's portfolio of products for the next three years.
The Middlewich business is around a year old but the businessman behind it is an expert with experience with other big brands such as at Britvic and at Coca-Cola.
Craig Johnstone and the team are to bring Healey's Cornish Cyder Farm's award-winning classic ciders, flavoured ciders and other drinks to international markets.
They are already the exclusive exporter for Adnams Brewery in Southwold, Suffolk, and Buxton Brewery in Buxton, Derbyshire, as well as GinTing and RumTing.
Craig Johnstone (Image: Cheers Global) Mr Johnstone said: "We are proud to be representing Healeys and their fantastic portfolio of products. With the growing global popularity of cider, we believe the Rattler brand is well-suited for international markets.
"We are excited to explore opportunities to introduce Healeys to a wider audience and share their exceptional brands with the world."
Joe Healey (Image: Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm) Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm has a 40-year history of cider-making under the gaze of first-generation founders David and Kay Healey then of their sons Joe and Sam Healey.
After restoring a farm from the 1800s and restoring an apple press from even earlier they are now one of the biggest independent cider producers anywhere across Cornwall.
Joe Healey said: "We are excited to embark on this partnership with Cheers Global and we look forward to working closely with their team to grow our international presence.
"Their deep expertise in drinks export, along with strong relationships with leading importers and retailers across a wide range of markets, makes them an ideal partner for us."
