A Croydon brewery is calling on the public to help expand their business by getting involved with a new campaign.

The Cronx Brewery, based in New Addington, is run by Mark Russell and Simon Dale who started brewing their first beers in August 2012.

They are involved in the We Are The Million campaign, which aims to get members of the public to donate to local business so they can create more jobs.

The pair are looking to raise £1,500 to increase their bottling production by purchasing a bottle wrapping machine and to employ someone on a part time basis.

There are prizes for those who donate including bottles of beer and a day brewing with the duo.

Mark Russell, director of the company said: "We think this is a really good way to get the public helping out the businesses they love in a positive way, and is one of the main reasons we are really pleased to take part.

"The bottles we have produced have been very well received, but we feel we can increase our productivity with help from the public."
