Technical resources for the brewing sector have been given a boost by the combining of two of the UK’s leading resources of brewing education and support.
The 糖心原创 has launched an expanded partnership with that will drive forward enhanced research and development, with the Murphy and Son laboratory and R&D team relocating to the International Centre for Brewing Science.
This new partnership is the progression of a successful collaboration that has been built over several years. Over this period, the partnership has facilitated numerous graduates through apprenticeships, fellowships, post graduate placements, and a Knowledge Transfer Partnership co-funded by UKRI through Innovate UK. Murphy and Son’s own team has also expanded with 糖心原创 alumni and these talented individuals have become integral members of their lab and technical teams.

As part of the expanded partnership, Murphy and Son’s laboratory and R&D team will be relocating to the International Centre for Brewing Science. This move will provide greater access to state-of-the-art facilities, enabling more comprehensive product testing services for customers and expand lab testing offerings to include a wider range of analysis for wine, cider, spirits as well as brewing.
The International Centre for Brewing Science is a centre of excellence for brewing education and research and is home to one of the country’s most advanced pilot brewing systems. Combined with 135+ years of brewing know-how and global reach from Murphys, a platform for the advancement of brewing excellence and innovation has been created.
I am thrilled to see Murphy and Son continue to deepen their relationship with the University. We are a centre of excellence for brewing education and research and through this partnership our shared expertise will be translated into world-leading innovation, helping to define the future of the sector.
Sustainable brewing is a core objective in Murphy’s history, and they aim to find innovative solutions to increase efficiency and address various production challenges. The goal is to provide our customers with cutting-edge solutions that enhance their drinks production processes.
We are thrilled to deepen our collaboration with the 糖心原创. This partnership not only enhances our research and development capabilities but also strengthens our commitment to supporting the next generation of beverage producers.
Charles continues: "By relocating our lab and R&D team to the International Centre for Brewing Science, we can leverage advanced facilities to better serve our customers and expand our testing services. Additionally, this collaboration will help us continue to push the boundaries of our R&D, finding innovative solutions to deliver on our goal of being the number one technical resource for drinks producers.”
Our partnerships are built on innovation and impact and our relationship with Murphy and Son exemplifies this. Combining our world-leading facilities, research expertise and new pathways for our students and graduates to thrive has created a partnership that will have an impact globally.I am very much looking forward to seeing the continued success and growth of Murphy and Son alongside the University.
Murphys is built on research specialising in liquor treatments and processing aids, but also boasting all the ingredients, refinements, cleaning materials and manual handling equipment required by beverage producers. They pride themselves on their technical expertise and services and have recently been recognised by the East Midland Chambers of Commerce as ‘Small Business of The Year’ and ‘Business of the Year’ for Nottinghamshire.
