Your perfect fit

Britvic is the biggest supplier of branded still soft drinks in Great Britain - and the number two supplier of branded carbonated soft drinks. Our leading brand portfolio includes Fruit Shoot, J2O Spritz, Robinsons and Tango. We also produce and sell PepsiCo brands - and it’s up to our Great Britain commercial team to sell them all.

Acquiring two great Brazilian companies, Ebba in 2015 and Bela Ischia in 2017, Britvic has developed fruit favourites such as Maguary, Dafruta and Bela Ischia into strong national presences known for innovation.

Britvic acquired French syrups brand Teisseire in 2010, a brand with a rich history dating back to 1720. From France, Britvic Teisseire International has become the commercial centre for our international operations, with offices in the US, Benelux, Asia and the Middle East. Distributing and exporting to more than 100 countries worldwide, we are the global leader in branded flavoured concentrates.

In Ireland, we have a proud brand history that spans over 240 years. Today, Britvic Ireland is well known for its iconic Irish brands such as Ballygowan, MiWadi, Club, TK and Cidona which have been trusted and enjoyed by the people of Ireland for many years. It also has exclusive agreements to make and distribute global brands such as Pepsi MAX, 7UP and Mountain Dew on behalf of PepsiCo.

Our Supply Chain is the engine of our business and, from our engineering apprentices to our experienced supply chain leaders, our people are the driving force. We’ve invested more than £240m in some of the most efficient lines in Europe - the key to our environmental performance and our sustainability strategy.

Our Finance team includes a range of responsibilities, including transactional services, commercial support, financial planning and analysis, statutory reporting, investor relations as well as tax and treasury. Internal audit, risk, legal and compliance also form part of the broader finance function.

Our IT and Digital teams are at the heart of all areas of our business - they’re essential to the way we operate and determine the ways in which we deliver value to our customers and consumers. We continually challenge the status quo, and champion business partnering as well as developing agile and forward-thinking solutions.

Innovation is at our core, so we’re always launching exciting new products that give consumers new ways to add flavour to their lives. Our Marketing team focuses on maximising the effectiveness of our promotions - and a combined portfolio of both Britvic and PepsiCo brands gives us an exciting range of products to work with.

We actively nurture the right kind of culture - one that’s grounded in our values and within which happy, healthy employees can thrive and grow. Human Resources champions our purpose, vision and values, leadership, learning and development to ensure employee wellbeing, diversity and inclusion.
