Number 1 Keg
It was whilst he was sitting in his hospital bed, that Alan Morrow saw a personalised number plate that was just right for him: 1 KEG.”It was made for the type of business we are in. When I saw it advertised in the Sunday Times, it just struck a chord.” says Alan. “When I arrive at a brewery, it brings a smile to everyone’s face.”My brother David already has the number plate A1 KEG, so I suppose the idea had been in the back of my mind.
My wife, Sandra (W1 KEG) has retired from the business, but my sons Kieron (K18 RON) and Liam (LJM 222) along with my daughter in-law Claire (KWM 841) have all joined the business.”
David’s wife Tina (T1 NRS), daughters Emma (P1 NUP) and Lucy (J1 NER) and son Simon (S1 MUN) also sport personal plates on their cars.
“They are an easy identifiable link to our core business, and provide a talking point at any brewery we visit.” says Alan. “They also represent a good long term investment.”
