History

The Hurns Brewing Company was originally established as the Hurns Mineral Water Company by Arthur A. Hurn, in the late 1800s. Requires verification of age. Hurns premises were in Northampton Lane in

and they initially produced bottled soda water, ginger beer, lemonade and cordials. Arthur Hurn's son, Idris, died in 1966 and Idris's son (who had been running the business) unexpectedly died a month later. The company went into decline for the next ten years, until Idris's grand daughter Connie and her brother were old enough to take over in 1976. The company changed direction to concentrate on distribution and wholesale. In 2010, as CEO of Hurns, Connie Parry was awarded the Welsh business woman of the year award at the Welsh Women Mean Business Awards ceremony.
