Drinks Dispense Systems
The Drinks Dispense Systems industry installs, removes and provides an on-going maintenance service including cleaning, repairs and upgrading.
As such, on this Intermediate Level Apprenticeship technicians and supervisors in the industry require a wide range of skills including those relating to electrical, plumbing, gas and refrigeration services. The drinks dispense industry is associated in particular with beer but also includes soft drinks and wine and cider.
The aim of the industry is to ensure that the equipment and systems are safely installed and the cellar delivers the end user the best possible drink experience. Drinks can then be served at the highest standard by the retailer and received by the customer at the right specification set by the drinks brand owners.
While the drinks dispense industry is a relatively small niche market in terms of numbers employed it supports a much larger industry, pubs, bars and clubs, which could not operate without the services of drinks dispense technicians. Drinks dispense technicians and supervisors play an essential role in supporting the British licensed retail trade.
