Experienced brewer, Adam Henderson, is currently transforming the 6,700 sq ft unit 16 at King Edward Industrial Estate for his new venture, Azvex Brewing, which will include a large brewhouse with tap room and onsite parking.

Adam said: “Liverpool is a brilliant city with fantastic culture and nightlife, plus a growing beer scene with loads of potential. I was attracted to the city because of all the incredible regeneration taking place here, particularly to the north of the city centre.

“Finding a big open space building in the right location which can be adapted to my business needs, is much harder than it might seem but I believe I have found the perfect location in Liverpool Waters.”

All the Shapes Tile & Co, which specialises in supplying large ceramic slab tiles hand made in Italy and other European countries, will launch in the autumn. Founder, James Lambert, is one of two founding directors with extensive experience in the tile industry.
