The Soft Drink Company is testament to what can be achieved with a little entrepreneurial spirit and vision; for this highly successful, continually expanding Sheffield-based business began in 1993 with just two people, a garage, £6000 working capital, and £40 per week on the Government Enterprise Allowance Scheme!

Today, after two moves to bigger premises (moving to its current (10,000sqft) premises in 2000), The Soft Drink Company’s Directors Paul Broomhead and Philip Mason employ 19 staff, have eight modern and well maintained delivery vehicles, and carry out 500 deliveries per week to businesses throughout the Yorkshire region, taking in everything from shops and offices through to leisure centres and schools, and including a next day service. Its turnover in the last financial year – which saw the company enjoy 5% growth – was approximately £5 million, which isn’t bad at all when you consider its rather humble beginnings.

This expansion, driven by a large and comprehensive range of products and a level of customer service that has set a benchmark for the industry, means that The Soft Drink Company has become something of a one-stop-shop for many of its customers, with soft drinks and mineral waters, an extensive range of confectionery, crisps, nuts and snacks amongst its extensive product portfolio. Indeed, the company offers its ever growing customer base in excess of 3,000 different products, incorporating all the major brands, including Coca Cola, Walkers Snacks, Mars and Cadbury’s.

Moreover, The Soft Drink Company has very recently joined buying group Sugro UK. It was previously a member of a rival wholesale buying group Confex, but has joined Sugro UK in order to take full advantage of the advantageous terms, structures and promotional programme.

As with any successful company, of course, The Soft Drink Company’s greatest asset is its staff; a team of people committed to exceeding expectations in terms of quality, value and service. The company’s friendly and efficient telesales team, for example, will take a client’s order, direct input it, keep them informed of any promotions and answer any queries. This highly skilled team of sales personnel dedicate themselves to specific customers and ensure that all the latest market developments and promotional activities are communicated on a timely basis.

The Soft Drink Company prides itself on having a personal relationship with its customers, providing them with a sense of belonging. The expansion and success of the business is due to its vast experience and knowledge of the sector, with customers having full access to this uncommon expertise, thereby allowing them to find numerous ways to grow their own businesses and boost profits, whatever their specific needs and requirements.

The Soft Drink Company’s success can be attributed to its great attention to customer service and a comprehensive range of high quality products at a competitive price. The Soft Drink Company continues to gain new customers and satisfy taste buds throughout the length of the region.
