When building a purpose-led brewery with limited time and resources, operational decisions matter.
For Tūn Brewing Co, outsourcing fulfilment early ensured growth was never restricted by logistics, storage, or compliance complexity.
By partnering with Tiger Fulfilment, fulfilment became stable infrastructure rather than daily workload.
Tūn Brewing Co was founded on a clear ethos: creating beers that are accessible to everyone while promoting a healthier relationship with alcohol.
Their range is easy-drinking, vegan, and gluten-free, designed to be enjoyed by all without compromising on quality or flavour. Beyond the product, Tūn encourages responsible enjoyment, whether socialising with friends, pairing beer with food, or sharing moments around entertainment. As the team explains, “We’re all about inclusivity and drinking with purpose.”
The brewery was founded by Richard, a psychiatrist who began homebrewing as a teenager and later rediscovered it as a creative and cathartic outlet. What started as a long-standing ambition, often joked about as something he would do if he won the lottery, became a reality when he decided not to wait for someday.
From the outset, Tūn was built with intention and positive purpose. That foundation continues to guide how the business operates and grows today.
From the beginning, Tūn understood that managing fulfilment internally would stretch time and resources.
Richard was launching the brewery while still working professionally. Warehouse management, packing orders, sourcing materials, and coordinating couriers would have added operational strain at a critical stage.
Looking back, the decision felt obvious. As Tūn puts it, “It was a bit of a no-brainer.”
By outsourcing early, Tūn avoided investing in warehouse space and additional staffing. Instead, time and focus were directed towards product development, events, retail relationships, and brand growth.
Alcohol fulfilment carries additional responsibility. Licensing, compliant storage, and careful handling are essential.
Tūn needed a partner who understood these nuances and could hold a premises licence. Tiger Fulfilment supported this process from the outset, providing operational clarity and reassurance. As Tūn explains, “It was essential that they were willing to hold our premises licence, which Tiger were more than happy to do.”
Clear pricing, transparent communication, and straightforward onboarding were central to building trust. Tūn had full visibility of services and costs, allowing the business to scale with confidence. In their words, “The clarity of communication and transparency around pricing” made it easy to hand fulfilment over with certainty.
Tūn partnered with Tiger Fulfilment from the very beginning, so fulfilment has never been an internal burden.
From day one, storage, packing, and shipping were handled externally. As Tūn explains, “We’ve never had to worry about the fulfilment side of the business.”
There has been no need to think about warehouse space, packaging materials, or courier coordination. That operational clarity allowed Tūn to focus fully on building the brewery rather than managing logistics.
The impact has been significant. In Tūn’s words, “It’s been a gamechanger.”
Instead of diverting time into fulfilment processes, Tūn has been able to invest energy into developing new beers, strengthening partnerships, attending events, and expanding the brand.
When reflecting on what that early decision made possible, Tūn summarises it simply: “The peace of mind.”
Tūn has worked with Tiger Fulfilment for storage, packing, and distribution, while also working with its sister company, Tiger Systems, for branding, design, and marketing.
Having both companies within the same wider group means Tūn benefits from a single point of contact and a high level of knowledge across both creative and operational areas. As Tūn explains, “Having one company manage both design and fulfilment has made everything straightforward.”
This setup simplifies communication, reduces complexity, and ensures expert support is always available, making day-to-day operations and growth far easier to manage.
