The Scottish Bee Company has embarked on the next phase of its expansion by operating as part of a wider Natural Larder Collective operation.
Founders Suzie and Iain Millar said the initiative will not only extend the business’s appeal beyond its Scottish heartland but provide a compelling haven for other brands of an all-natural disposition to join.
The first outsider brand to join this ‘healthier living’ movement is the pioneering botanical brew specialist Nuisance Drinks, an enterprising adult soft drinks range which celebrates the foraging of all-too-often overlooked shrubs, herbs and weeds in a positive, at ‘one with nature’ light.
“The Natural Larder Collective is the perfect ‘next steps’ home for Nuisance Drinks because it mirrors our values of sustainability, and innovation, whilst celebrating nature’s unsung ingredients,” Hugo Morrissey, Nuisance Drinks founder, said.
“By joining forces, we can reach even more people who share our deep-rooted passion for healthier, all-natural offerings, while continuing to support biodiversity and rewilding efforts. This meaningful union allows us to scale up whilst staying true to our original mission of turning the ‘nuisances’ of the wild into something truly extraordinary.”
Scottish Bee founder, Suzie Millar concurred. “We see Nuisance Drinks as the perfect clean deck stable mate who shares our determination to look to Nature and not the science lab when it came championing ‘hero ingredients and compelling recipes.
“Today our appreciation of real ingredients extends far beyond Scotland’s borders, which is why we believe The Natural Larder Collective is well placed to not only supercharge the appeal of both Scottish Bee and Nuisance throughout the UK and overseas, but to also act as a lightning rod for other compelling, ‘real ingredient’ brands to join our slow food cause.”
Launched seven years ago, The Scottish Bee Company’s portfolio now includes decadent dressings, condiments, infused vinegars, two hot honeys and most recently a truly immersive honey-inspired chocolate spread.
