TESTIMONIALS

Mother Root Marmalade Lifestyle

It’s been brilliant working with Sam. Taking a complex kitchen-developed recipe to something that can be scaled up was a challenge but one that Sam had lots of solutions for.
More generally, it’s fun to work with Sam who clearly is very passionate about what he does and the industry. you know you’re going to end up with a quality drink that also ticks all the compliance boxes you need to know about as well.

Fibe

We LOVED developing the liquid for our new brand - Fibe Prebiotic Soda - with Sam. His attention to detail and friendly, collaborative way of working was highly refreshing. The liquid he developed speaks for itself - and tastes absolutely incredible and met our spec. He was open to trying our new things and thought deeply about ways we could balance all the elements of the brief. We felt like Sam was really on the journey with us and couldn't have asked for a better experience!
