Here at Britvic, we have been creating great tasting drinks for pubs since 1938 and know how to deliver both old and new favourites with ease. The Lipton brand has been providing high quality tea to over 150 countries since 1880. The story of Lipton Ice Tea begins with Sir Thomas Lipton, born in Glasgow in 1848. Sir Thomas was a passionate explorer who travelled to exotic places around the globe. He was not one to follow normal conventions, and in 1862 he sailed to New York in search of new opportunities. He spent five years travelling all over the country working in a number of jobs, which helped him develop a head for business. It first launched in 1929 as a caramel-coloured lemon-lime soda, which he positioned as a drink with a 'flavour wallop'. Despite launching at the start of the Great Depression and competing against 600 other lemon-lime soft drinks already in the marketplace, the new brand sold well and by the late 1940s had become the third best-selling soft drink in the world. Today, Gatorade is available widely in major retailers and is the sports drink chosen by more professional athletes than any other brand, including football teams such as Arsenal, Barcelona and Liverpool FC, the NFL and the NBA to name a few.As of March 2023, the recipe for classic Pepsi in cans and bottles has changed.

Determined to make his mark at a time when trade in London was booming, Mr Robinson set up his own grocery business in the late 1700s. Initially highly successful, he devoted a sizeable portion of his time and profits to charity and became a key philanthropic figure of the early 19th century, including helping patients who could not afford hospital treatment, as well as charitable initiatives alongside King George III. In 1890, he bought a Sri Lankan tea garden and began blending his own tea, making the drink more affordable for ordinary people. While his shops made him a millionaire, his tea business made him a multimillionaire leading to a knighthood in 1898. Fast forward to the present day and the brand is still quenching the thirst of the millions of British families every day, with a focus on new innovations to bring more people more opportunities to enjoy refreshing fruit squash wherever they are.
