Malcolm first considered Brewing as a career when it came out as a top recommendation for him in a careers survey at secondary school. He then did an Honours degree in Brewing & Distilling at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh. After graduation Malcolm joined a microbrewery based in Middlesborough before moving down to Hampshire to Gales Brewery in Horndean. Malcolm was at Gales for eleven and a half years in the roles of Quality Control Manager and Trade Quality and Packaging Brewer before the brewery was bought over and closed by Fullers. Irving & Co is the culmination of a dream Malcolm had even before entering the brewing industry.
