A North East family business has secured a major contract with the UK’s largest pub company, Greene King. Innerglass Ltd, based in Peterlee, is part of the IG Group and has been supplying glassware to the leisure and hospitality industry for more than 40 years.

Supplying Greene King

IG Group has provided catering and hospitality supplies to some of the UK’s biggest brands since its founding in 1973.

With a team of 165 employees, Innerglass has just completed its most successful year to date. The company’s annual turnover rose from £21 million to £30 million, reflecting strong growth across all divisions.

This momentum continues with the new Greene King contract, which will see Innerglass supply branded glassware to more than 3,000 pubs nationwide.

The company is proudly run by third-generation family members Stephen Hoey and Lesley Tait.

CEO Stephen Hoey said: “We’re proud of another successful year. The company continues to grow and build on long-standing relationships with our customers.” “Some of our clients have been with us for over 20 years, which speaks to the consistency and trust we’ve built.”

Who Is IG Group?

Originally established in Sunderland, Innerglass began by supplying glassware to local workingmen’s clubs. As the industry evolved, the company diversified to meet new market demands.

Today, IG Group operates multiple divisions, including cleaning products and care home supplies, alongside its core hospitality range.

From its 150,000 sq ft warehouses in Peterlee and Sunderland, the business offers more than 10,000 branded products, including glassware, crockery, cocktail accessories, and barware.
