ESG has become increasingly important for funders, investors and potential recruits.
Simon Gray, founder and CEO, Boost Drinks
Join us at our business lunch on Wednesday 8 November at the newly refurbished Restaurant Bar & Grill in Leeds, where Simon Gray, founder and CEO of Boost Drinks, will share his insights on how and why to get ESG right.
Simon founded Boost Drinks in 2001 at the age of 28 with a bank loan of £30,000. He and his team of 35 Boosters have built it into a £75m turnover business that sits on the top three brand in each of the categories it operates in – energy drinks, sports drinks, and iced coffee – and a market leader in Northern Ireland.
In December 2022 Simon sold the business to Scottish drinks manufacturer AG Barr plc, the creators of Irn Bru, and remains chief executive.
Leeds born and bred, Simon always strives for continuous improvement for himself and the business, and prides himself in implementing a compelling culture at Boost of “Energising Everybody in Every Way”, creating an environment where colleagues can be the best version of themselves, which in turn delivers the best version of the business.
Don’t miss this chance to hear from one of Leeds’ most successful entrepreneurs and gain valuable insights into the environmental, social and governance policies that help make Boost Drinks so successful.
