Britvic Ireland is proud to be named Tesco Ireland’s 2026 “Packaged Supplier of the Year,” a recognition of the strong partnership and aligned teams delivering consistent value for Tesco shoppers and driving real category growth.
Over the past year, our dedicated team have worked closely with Tesco to deliver tangible results for shoppers. A key milestone was the relaying of the water aisle in February and March, led by Ballygowan, which helped drive category growth throughout the financial year.
We also brought fresh innovation to soft drinks with the launch of 7UP Pink and introduced a new seasonal format at Christmas with a 32-pack can option to meet evolving shopper needs and occasions.
We paired product innovation with strong execution across key moments, including the 7UP St Patrick’s Day Gold Can, Pepsi UEFA Champions League activity, and MiWadi FAI campaigns. We delivered engaging, high-impact activities during key trading periods, strengthening visibility and consumer connection.
In April 2026, Tesco Ireland held its Supplier Conference, hosted by commercial director Joe Manning, who oversees the company’s integrated commercial success in Ireland.
At the core of this achievement is the strength of our partnership. By bringing together demand planning, category management, and commercial teams, we’ve been able to fully leverage Tesco’s capabilities and deliver stronger outcomes. At Britvic Ireland, we remain committed to maintaining exceptional service levels. This award is a proud moment for our entire team and reflects the continued progress we’re making alongside our partners at Tesco.
