JW Lees | Conference Newspaper
We designed this newspaper to update JW Lees staff on the company’s progress during Coronavirus. Delivering something physical to each employee to form part of the company's first ever virtual conference was powerful, yet completely fitting for the ‘modern traditional brewer’.

The quote on the cover sums up the resilience of their culture during tough times for hospitality.
