Oct 2007 - Jan 2012
Formed in 2007 by a team of 5, SUSO was a VC backed soft drink business that aimed to bring a ‘healthier fizzy drink’ to young people across the UK. From launch SUSO found success in Retail and Foodservice (notably education) and in year 2, SUSO acquired a retail value of circa £6.5 million. I am very proud to be one of the original founding members and to play a leading role in SUSO being sold in some 3000+ education sites across England & Wales - inside two years.In January 2012 (and in line with the original 4 to 5 yr plan) we exited SUSO via sale of the brand to Cott Beverages (the 4th largest soft drinks manufacturer in the world) who today continue to build and further develop the SUSO brand.*Promoted from Business Development Manager in December 2010
