The box, which is delivered to people’s doorsteps, contains three Derby Brewing Company ales, a discount voucher off Mr Shaw’s Hop Drop range of clothing and a bag of home-cured jerky.

The Hop Drop range is a collaboration between Derby Brewing Company and Mr Shaw.

Adam Bamford, chief executive of Colleague Box, who set up the business last year with wife Natalie, said: “I’ve been a fan of Derby Brewing Company and have, for a few years now, enjoyed their real ales both at the local pub and at home.

“I have followed the Mr Shaw brand and watched as it has grown over the past few years to the point where I regularly purchase and check their website for updates.

“We believe that this box is great not just for the good people of Derby looking to support four local businesses but for anyone who appreciates fine things.”
