We just wanted to update you on what we’re doing at Global Brands to get through these challenging times. The simplest way to summarise our plan is to say we are maintaining what operations we are able, cutting back where we can and trying to support our customers, our local community and our teams at the same time. All within the realms of what is possible under the current Government guidance.

For many of our friends and customers in pubs, bars, cafés and clubs, we really do feel your pain. Our thoughts go out to all our hard-working customers – large and small – who have been asked to close. We know you will all fight hard to come through this in the best way you can and we look forward to that time. We love this industry and we look forward to helping our customers to fight on and get back on their feet as soon as they are able.

For our customers still operating; it’s proving a challenging time too. We are still working hard to ensure your orders are fulfilled on time and in full and will do anything we can to support you through this time. Whilst adhering to all Government guidance, we are still operating our warehouse and distribution facilities to make sure we can deliver our drinks when and where they are needed.

As an independent, family owned business, we may not have the financial backing of many of our larger competitors but we are agile and entrepreneurial so we are trying to support our customers, our employees and our local community in the best way we can.

Did you know, 52% of consumers feel that the range of adult soft drinks in outlets is boring? Here's Matthew Clark to tell you how Franklin & Sons can change that.

We are excited to unveil the latest creation from the Franklin & Sons family; Sister’s Soda.

Launching into Tesco stores this week, the three sparkling waters are the perfect combination of real fruit extracts, all-natural ingredients and low sugar. Encapsulated in colourful, hand-illustrated, 250ml cans - with just 45 calories per flavour.

The range heroes three invigorating infusions: Guava & Lime, Pomegranate & Hibiscus and Pineapple & Cardamom, which capture the freshest tastes. Inspiration has been taken from the popular flavours used by craft distillers, to create these three lightly carbonated combinations.

The Sister’s Soda range is vegan friendly, gluten free and includes no artificial flavours, sweeteners or preservatives, with just a touch of British sugar beet.
