Among them have been;

Investing in Wrexham Lager
The pair’s most recent commitment to the Wrexham community was ensuring that one of it’s most historic brands continues to thrive in future.
Rob and Ryan took over Wrexham Lager at the end of last month.
Founded in 1882, it is believed to be the oldest British lager brewery still in existence.
Taking over, the pair said: “Wrexham Lager has a 140-year-old recipe and a storied history and we’re excited to help write its next chapter.”
