Distribution agency DrinksOne launches

DrinksOne, a ‘next generation’ drinks agency, has launched to offer ‘a new solution’ to introducing brands in the UK.

DrinksOne considers itself to be a ‘distribution incubator’ for brands new to market, as well as a global advisory service for drinks companies at all stages of their lifespan.

The agency has built a ‘comprehensive portfolio’ of spirits, low-and-no, and soft drinks brands, as well as wines and beers from both established and emerging producers.

With an emphasis on quality, innovation, and diversity, DrinksOne says it is committed to providing ‘the highest quality offering to customers in the UK and further afield’.

Its brands include: Heavensake, Ish non-alcoholic wines and ‘spirits’, Ocean Beer, Vellamo Water, Yaguara Cachaca, Why Not soda, and Balearic Spirits.

The experienced team at DrinksOne, led by Nick Worthington, former global commercial director for Big Drop Brewing; Silent Pool co-founder James Shelbourne; and Mike Beavan, former CEO of Spirit.ed, is said to have ‘extensive’ industry knowledge and expertise in selling and building brands locally and around the world.

“We are looking forward to bringing a fresh approach to the drinks industry and showcasing some truly exciting new brands to markets,” said co-founder Worthington. “With our established roots in the drinks industry, we understand and relate to all stakeholders.

“DrinksOne is well-placed to guide brands through their scale-up journey at all touch points in the UK and internationally.”
