Northern Monk is a Leeds-based brewing company that combines traditional monastic brewing heritage with a fresh, contemporary spirit. Founded in 2013 by Russell Bisset with a generous gift from his grandmother, the firm has grown exponentially. From brewing modest quantities in its early days, it now produces up to seven times more beer daily and has a workforce of over 100 across sites in Leeds and Manchester.

Beyond brewing, Northern Monk is a true community player with values rooted in community, inclusivity, spirit, humility, and freshness. The firm's commitment to its employees is evident in its proactive wellbeing initiatives. It has participated in St John's Ambulance's Mental Health Responder Course and offers two paid volunteer days annually.

To foster a cohesive and engaged workforce, Northern Monk has team interaction strategies, including an Annual General Meeting for all employees, the Monk Hike Club, and a monthly newsletter 'This Month at Monk'. The company celebrates its employees through the Monk of the Month award.

Employee growth and development are highly valued at Northern Monk. Employees are encouraged to seek out opportunities for learning, whether that's shadowing another department or undertaking role-specific qualifications.

Northern Monk's community spirit extends beyond its walls, with its Faith in Futures Foundation supporting local causes and raising significant funds for charity. Its mission to create the best beer experiences in the world while growing in stature as it grows in scale truly encapsulates the spirit of Northern Monk.
