The School Drinks Company is proof that if you are passionate about something, hard work and dedication really does reap rewards.
In 2007, just a year after our conception, The School Drinks Company won ‘Most Innovative Business’ at the Business Enterprise Fund’s Biz Awards. Stephen Ward, Business Enterprise Fund director, said: “The School Drinks Company has been able to break into an established market by developing a different (healthy) proposition to meet the needs of its customers.”
A year later and we added another two prizes to our trophy cabinet, winning BT’s Essence of the Entrepreneur 2008, supported and judged by BBC Dragon, Peter Jones, and ‘Most Innovative Young Company’ at Yorkshire Forward’s Innovator ’08.
Jim Farmery, Yorkshire Forward’s head of innovation, said: “The School Drinks Company has achieved success through the innovation of the product they sell (healthy drinks), along with the unique way they have engaged with their customers.”
We also boast an Education Bradford certification for the School Drinks Company’s commitment to supporting schools through the quality of our partnership activities.
