Shepherd Neame was named Best Tenanted & Leased Pub Company (up to 500 sites) at the Publican Awards 2020, and shortlisted for Best Tenanted & Leased Pub Company in the Publican Awards 2021. We were proud to be named Brewery of the Year 2021 by The Good Pub Guide, and winner of the Outstanding Covid Response category in the Kent Excellence in Business Awards 2021, in recognition of the principled way in which we responded to the pandemic to protect our team members and licensees. Shepherd Neame was also named AQSE Company of the Year at the Small Cap Awards in 2022.

In 2021 we received a Golden Award in recognition of our commitment to brewing excellence and innovation from the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), and our beers have received numerous accolades.
