About usWHO WE ARE

Meet Jennifer Tingay the Head Brewer at Poole Hill Brewery. The former QA manager for Ringwood Brewery, ex-pub landlady with Adnams and off-licence manager decided in 2013 she was going to open a brewery of her own. Keen to use all her skills she took a job at Town Mill Brewery to gain some hands on experience having gained her Diploma in Brewing in 2010.

Designing the Southbourne Ales brand whilst cuckoo brewing Jennifer won a silver medal at the International Brewing Awards in 2015, giving her the gravitas to crowdfund raising £280k to invest in renovating a listed building in Bournemouth Triangle and install a twenty barrel brewery, taproom, visitors centre and cinema. Brewing production started early in 2018 and has been given the best accolade of Taste of Dorset’s Best Brewer 2018. Jennifer has no intention to relax anytime soon, work has already started on the sister brand Tingay’s.

When Hugo’s not flying the British flag Free-Skiing around the world he can be found keeping himself fit digging out mash tuns, carrying sack of malt or pulling the pumps.  Shift brewer and superhero Hugo (ask him the story) joined the team during the construction phase and has amongst his talents plumbing, painting, carpentry, painting and painting.

Sheldon, along with being one of the first taste testers (a perk with having the other half as the brewer) is a director of the company but has also been key with the design and implementation of the brewery.

Barman Sam, a traditionally friendly host, happy to chat to all and sundry about most things.  From history to music, to computer games and politics.  During the building phase Sam excelled at cutting recesses for hinges and locks.

One of our excellent tour guides, Hayden, will leave no question unanswered about the brewery. With his knowledgeable tours and his sense of humour his tours are never boring.
