Two Swindon-based businesses are showing that when it comes to beer, local is definitely better.

Eclipse Labels, which based in Equity Trade Centre, has been supplying Arkell’s Brewery with labels for their bottled beers for over seven years. The business now supplies over 250,000 labels a year, including for the brewery’s Christmas ale, Sir Noel Ale, which is now hitting the supermarket shelves.
