Local Community Focus O'Connor Brewing Company's strong ties to Norfolk and its recognition as the 2018 Small Business of the Year highlight its commitment to local community engagement, offering opportunities for regional collaboration and local product partnerships.

Craft Beer Innovation With an emphasis on creating original and evolving craft beer experiences, there is potential to introduce new flavors, seasonal offerings, or limited editions that appeal to loyal customers and craft beer enthusiasts.

Strategic Partnerships The partnership with Ardagh Group for manufacturing solutions indicates openness to scalable production and supply chain collaborations, presenting opportunities to optimize distribution channels and expand market reach.

Market Positioning Having been awarded as a small business leader in Norfolk, O'Connor Brewing has a reputable local profile that can be leveraged to target regional distributors, retailers, and hospitality venues looking for quality local craft beers.

Expansion Challenges The recent closure of Norfolk offices and departure from the UK market suggest opportunities to explore new markets or distribution channels for growth outside their original geographic scope.
