🍺🏅 Yates IOW Brewery / Yates IOW Wholesale / Cork Heads Wines & Spirits IOW Brews Gold for 2025 🏅🍺

We’re delighted to announce that the set of labels designed in-house by our wizard of illustration, Tom, has won Gold for ‘Best Set of Labels’ at this year’s Labology 2025 Label of the Year Competition, hosted at Batemans Brewery in Wainfleet - beating off competition from 166 national entrants!

Working with Yates’ Brewery has always been a collaborative and rewarding experience for us here at Solent, and we’re thrilled that our creativity, combined with Yates’ incredible ideas and craftsmanship, has proved to be a winning combination.

Illustration is something we love to sink our teeth into, so if you’ve got a project that could use a touch of Solent finesse, give us a call, we’d love to help bring it to life.
