Purdey’s launches two flavours with wellness in mind

Purdey’s launches two flavours with wellness in mind

Purdey’s is igniting its natural energy range by adding two new products to the wellness segment – Refocus and Replenish. The brand has added over £3.5m to the soft drinks category in the past four years alone, growing by almost 70 per cent in that same time period. Both additions will expand this growth by offering shoppers an even wider range of benefits to meet the different energy needs throughout the day and week. The brand is also undergoing a complete redesign with the functional benefits and great flavour further highlighted to help make wellness more accessible for consumers.

Over the last year, the pandemic has accelerated health trends, creating opportunities for wellness brands such as Purdey’s. One in five people have been taking vitamins during lockdown, while 47 per cent agree they will eat more foods to support their immune system. Refocus and Replenish are ideally positioned to meet these growing consumer needs, by offering multiple benefits for those seeking energy but looking for a more "natural" lift:


• Refocus is a blend of dark fruits, naturally caffeinated, and contains guarana and b-vitamins - inspired by people wanting to stay mentally sharp

• Replenish is a lighter blend of sparkling raspberry juice with rose extract. It is under 50 calories per bottle, enriched with b-vitamins and magnesium to help restore natural balance

“Consumers are looking for functional energy drink options that will also benefit their overall wellbeing, with over half trying to eat healthily most of the time while keeping up with the pressures of modern-day life," said Phil Sanders, out of home commercial director at Britvic. "At twice the average price per litre, the wellness segment – in which Purdey’s sits – is key to growth for retailers within their soft drinks range."

The full range now includes three flavours. Existing grape and apple blend, Rejuvenate has also been reformulated as part of the brand update to ensure the whole range is HFSS compliant. The new flavours and pack design will begin rolling out from 8th March and will be supported with an integrated digital campaign.

Purdey’s flavours available are:

Replenish (Raspberry & Rose) - Glass bottle (330ml; RRP: £1.59)

Refocus (Dark Fruits) - Can (250ml; RRP: £1.29), Glass bottle (330ml; RRP: £1.59)

Rejuvenate (Grape & Apple) - Can (250ml; RRP: £1.29) Glass bottle (330ml; RRP: £1.59), Glass bottle multipack (4 x bottles; RRP: £4.49)

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

As December rapidly approaches, Pernod Ricard UK is ramping up its festive marketing efforts, anticipating a resurgence in consumer confidence after a challenging year. The UK’s second-largest wine and spirits supplier is set to inspire consumers to choose Premium+ Spirits as the perfect gift or the ultimate addition to any home celebration. Throughout 2024, Premium+ Spirits have consistently outperformed Standard offerings, making this higher end of the sector a vital margin driver.

“Since last Christmas, consumer confidence has been on the rise and the outlook for the final month of 2024 is positive," said Chris Shead, Off-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK. "Gifting and hosting remain two key trends and retailers should focus on increasing space in-store for Premium Spirits that act as the perfect gift or cocktail ingredient when wanting to show off in front of friends and family. Where possible, we encourage retailers to prioritise categories that have been capturing the hearts of consumers and this year, our big winners have been Altos Tequila, Kahlúa and Bumbu Rum, and we expect our Champagnes, G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, to be the toast of choice for festive parties this year.”
