Bullards Gin – Norwich Dry Gin
Bullards, whose trademark is ‘The Spirit of Norwich™’, has been a familiar name in the city since 1837. This was the year that they started brewing beer at the Anchor Brewery and supplying beers, wines and spirits across the region. With the UK gin boom in full swing, Russell believed the brand name could once again encompass spirits. So, a new distillery, embedded in local history and the first in Norwich for 150 years, was born.
With a small, but expanding, range of unique high-quality gins, the company needed a larger still to keep up with production and to satisfy growing demand. Therefore, they contacted Ryebeck in 2017 and so began the next phase of their development.
A new k900
400l spirit still
Russell has no regrets with his purchase. “We’re really happy. It’s a great bit of kit and a thing of beauty. It looks amazing, sat in the window of Crystal House in Norwich. People are constantly stopping and peering through the window just to admire it. They come in to say how fantastic it looks.”

Bullards knew Rybeck was the answer
For Russell, Ryebeck was the clear choice as supplier and installer of the new still, following a strong recommendation from nearby distillery St Giles. Read here for the full story of how Ryebeck helped St Giles source a new still.
Supporting our customers needs
is paramount to the Ryebeck way
Russell is full of praise for the professional attitude of Ryebeck in helping Bullards transition through this period. “Tim and his team were great. They helped us adapt to our new place. We liked them and they were really helpful. Tim took us to see places where Ryebeck had already installed stills. They also took us out to Germany to meet the people who were going to make our still, so we felt comfortable with the process.” It is standard practice for us to work with clients, understand their needs and recommend the right equipment needs. Its about more than selling equipment
Tim goes beyond just selling the product. He’s become a friend, someone who takes an interest in our business and helps us out
