Company profile

Murphy & Son Ltd provides the brewing industry with a unique ‘one stop shop’ for all of their process, cleaning, manual handling and technical support requirements. Founded by Albert John Murphy in 1887 it has developed very close links with all breweries in the UK and a growing number overseas. Originating in Leeds it moved its manufacturing capability to Nottingham in 1919, where continual investment based in and around the splendid Hutchinson’s, Prince of Wales Brewery site (now a listed building) has us well placed with modern equipment and communications to support our growing customer base for the future. Mr Murphy quickly realised the importance of formulating individual water treatments, known as liquor to brewers to enhance their immediate water supply to an individuals’ specific beer qualities. Very soon preservatives, finings agents, cleaning products, enzymes and yeast foods were all added to the product range. Always supported by a strong team of technical experts to advise and optimise their use. During the 1980’s Murphy’s, took the leading role in supporting a resurgent growth in new breweries, the time of the micro brewery was evident and has grown strongly ever since together with an ever changing and evolving Murphy & Son Ltd to cater and meet their needs. Through strategic alliances we can supply hops and malt, specialist yeasts and laboratory sundries. In 1998 we purchased the brewing portfolio of Amyleau Ltd adding a range of enzymes, head retention agents and silicon antifoams to the product range. In 2002 the purchase of Savilles from LHS Holdings enabled us to become a major manufacturer of isinglass finings.	In 2004 we diversified into the manual handling area, buying Samuel Handley Ltd supplying safety equipment for the movement of casks and kegs, at delivery and in cellars, broadening our base whilst remaining within the confines of the brewing industry. In the same year we bought the controlling interest in Sutton & Phillips Ltd having previously manufactured and distributed their products which included the renowned cleaning materials Antiformin and PCD (Pipe Cleaning Detergent). In 2008 the acquisition of NBS Brewery Services further consolidated our position as a major player in the beverage industry manual handling supply chain. As new challenges emerge we aim to make a contribution. Two new products Murgrain and Murycide have been developed to help in the safe disposal of brewing and distilling by-products. We have developed a range of Zetolite products to help reduce off flavours in beer and wine and enhance flavour characteristics. We enjoy strong relationships with all our customers large and small; we move forward with a strong sense of history, close relationships and reciprocity with the industry. Murphy & Son Ltd gained accreditation to BS EN 5750 part 2 in 1993 and has retained this accreditation as the standard altered to BS EN ISO 9002 and the present standard of BS EN ISO 9001:2008.
