What can we say about Vault City? The most exciting story in the craft world for years? Yep. Run by some of the nicest people in the craft world? Tick. Vault City make modern sour beers from their Scottish base in Edinburgh. Their house culture and mixed fermentation base beer pair perfectly with real fruit ingredients, and they use literally tonnes of the stuff in all recipes to help push the boundaries of what people would typically expect from a beer.
Vault City were looking to expand their existing export reach and find new territories. Having already exported successfully to a number of International territories, they were looking for market intel, feedback on product and orders from those countries where we all felt there were opportunities.
In the 18 months that worked with the gang at Vault City we introduced several lucrative new markets. By working in conjunction with Steven and the operations team we were able to identify better sales opportunities within existing export territories, and find brand new ones to add to their now enviable list. The return on investment here was X5 and we continue to keep our eyes peeled for emerging global gaps.
"Paul's export knowledge and contacts have been invaluable for us as we've grown to become the largest producer of sour beers in the world. The Craft Agent project has resulted in some seriously lucrative new deals for us and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any of our peers. Not only that, but we respect Paul's opinion on so many different aspects of the industry and we're really chuffed to have met him." Steven Smith- Hay Co-Founder
