The team at French & Jupps have a vast wealth of experience and knowledge in the malting & brewing industry.
Having spent the majority of my career in commercial, financial and operational roles in the beer industry, it is now my distinct honour to lead an exciting new chapter at French & Jupps, Great Britain’s oldest maltster.
At French & Jupps, our small-batch specialty roasted malts have been carefully handcrafted over centuries in traditional, time-honoured ways, with great care and passion, using locally sourced barley to our maltings in Stanstead Abbotts.
Housed within a number of our historic maltings buildings also reside a range of fine local businesses—both start-up and larger scale—bringing great vibrancy to the local community. We devote energy to serving this local community, supporting valuable local initiatives.
With the same entrepreneurial spirit that started the French & Jupps story as farmers in West Sussex in 1689, French & Jupps proudly remains a family-owned business today, tipping our cap to the past while looking forward to delighting brewers and our valued customers for many years to come.
Our production team are experts in the entire malting process, from steeping & germination to kiln drying & roasting. Each expert looks after specific malts and mix both modern technology and traditional methods to ensure the perfect result.
Local incoming barley through to finished roasted malts are carefully evaluated to ensure our strict quality standards are met.
With the nature of malting being a highly mechanised operation, our highly skilled engineers are on hand to ensure the smooth running of our equipment.
Our Warehouse Team are responsible for carefully packaging our roasted malts into a wide range of packaged formats, from pallets of 25kg bags through to bulk loads for international shipping.
