My name is Ed Woolner and I am the founder of The Drinks Accelerator. I have over 22 years experience in the Food and Drink sector covering commercial, marketing and strategic roles.

Since 2008 I have been working within the soft drinks industry for global and start up accelerator brands.

​

My journey in soft beverages started with the global Energy Icon Monster. As part of the launch team I left almost five years later having created a £100m revenue business across the UK and Ireland working with Coca Cola Enterprises. Following Monster I grew household brands including Capri Sun and Ocean Spray before starting my own soft drinks brand in 2014.

 

More recently I created and launched a brand under a PLC incubator and since 2023 I have been supporting and advising fast growing soft drinks businesses across all functions including strategy, commercial, marketing,  operations and sustainability.

​

My experience spans all channels and I have worked with various markets outside of the UK. If you need direct support, advisory services or board level support get in touch through the email below
