Clearly Drinks

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Clearly Drinks support Armed Forces personnel and we extend this support to their families too.  We recognise that those in the Armed Forces can move around frequently, and this can make it more difficult for their family members to secure employment.  We commit to assisting forces family members as far as possible, for example by taking into account unusual leave requirements, the need to amend working patterns and considering flexible working practices where possible to do so.

 About us

Originating in 1885, we have been bottling in the North East of England for over 130 years. Well known for many years as ‘Villa Drinks’ and a truly local North East business since its inception, Clearly Drinks has become one of the UK’s leading specialist bottlers with well-loved brands including Perfectly Clear, Northumbria Spring, Upstream and Revolution Waves.  At the heart of everything is our spring water which flows directly from our onsite boreholes, through our factory and into all of our bottles.  

We make it our mission to do nothing to compromise the freshness of our water, nor the quality of our product. Whether it’s our own brand or bottling for customers our approach is always the same – no importing, no doing anything that might compromise the unique quality of our products and leading environmental, social, service and innovation. We hold a number of accreditations that recognise our continuous improvement and high performance culture and we are proud to have been awarded the BRC AA standard for food manufacture.
