Powder Monkey Group has become the latest corporate partner of Hampshire Fare.
The award-winning brewery group, which was founded in Gosport, has committed to the food and drink producers' organisation in the south.
Powder Monkey has been a long-standing member of Hampshire Fare, but this new partnership solidifies its support for the group.
Andy Burdon, CEO of Powder Monkey Group, said: "Having been Hampshire Fare members from our launch, engaging with them through their work and networking, we have built a strong relationship with the team.
"To take this to the next level and become corporate partners as we are growing our business makes perfect sense."
The expanding brewing and hospitality group has businesses in Australia and is exploring opportunities throughout the UK.
Hampshire Fare's commercial manager, Natasha Dochniak, said: "Corporate partners contribute both financially and strategically, allowing Hampshire Fare to invest in new projects, marketing campaigns, and events.
"Their support underpins key initiatives that benefit the wider membership and the local community."
Ms Dochniak further added that Hampshire Fare only partners with organisations that share their values of sustainability, community, and quality.
These partnerships, she said, help reinforce Hampshire Fare's mission to champion local food and drink, while reflecting the partners' commitment to supporting local businesses.
She added: "Partnerships with Hampshire Fare offer corporate partners a chance to be more deeply involved in the community.
"This mutually beneficial relationship allows partners to strengthen their local credentials while helping Hampshire Fare members access new opportunities."
She praised the commitment of the Powder Monkey Group, from the CEO Andy Burdon down to their efforts in local sourcing and supporting local growers and producers.
She said: "We all know that food and drink tastes better when it has been made with care and passion, and it feels so much more special when we know the people and the stories behind the produce.
"Stories create emotional connections. Local produce is a great example of this.
"With full commitment at Powder Monkey Group from the CEO, Andy Burdon, down to local sourcing and supporting local growers and producers, Hampshire Fare and Powder Monkey are perfect partners."Fro
