Tadcaster brewery workers have been rewarded for their outstanding work.

Coors' brewery at Tadcaster was named the chain's most improved brewery over the last year.

Tadcaster's contribution was recognised at the company's annual awards ceremony, held at Aston Villa Football Club's Villa Park, when staff were presented with commemorative glass plaques.

The event celebrated achievements in value, quality and service of Coors' three UK breweries.

Packaging was picked out as a particular strength in Tadcaster, with the team being thanked for an outstanding contribution to the company.

The Tadcaster staff also won awards for giving best value to the company, and for their great improvements over the last year.

Coors' supply chain director Martin Thomas said: "The awards are a great way to recognise the teams and individuals who are working their hardest to support our vision and values as we strive to become the number one brewer in Britain."
