The Business
Fentimans is one of the UK’s largest and most instantly recognisable family owned soft-drinks businesses.

Back then the product was stored in stone jars and delivered door-to-door by Thomas himself using a horse and cart for transport! Things have evolved a lot since then, but Fearless, Thomas’ faithful family dog still proudly guards every bottle to this day!
