The Salty Buoy Beer Company is an independent craft beer distributor in Northern Ireland.

Our small team have dedicated themselves to supporting & promoting local, independent breweries to reshape the landscape of craft beer within Northern Ireland. 

Our mission statement is a simple one; #buylocal #supportlocal #spendlocal. With over 30 years' experience within independent hospitality, we have worked tirelessly to build long standing relationships with Northern Ireland’s leading and up and coming independent breweries, ensuring our trade customers are offered a wholesale portfolio that is unique, authentic & real.

Motivation for Living Wage Accreditation

Despite the fact that we as an employer had already been paying the Living Wage for a number of years, we felt it was important to highlight this, not just to our own employees, but also to the wider hospitality community.

Implementation Process

The process was a very simple one. Having registered for accreditation online, we had a short follow up meeting, with full accreditation following soon after. Information and communication was clear and concise throughout the process, which took no longer than just over a week.
