Schweppes is excited to announce its full team of brand ambassadors, supporting the on-trade in all major regions of Great Britain.

Following the recent announcement of GB Prestige ambassador Josh Linfitt leading the team, the BAs will be on hand to support all sectors of the on-trade with training, event support, activations and the stylish new range of bar kit and glassware.

With the highball at the forefront of Schweppes’ global drink strategy – created together with Schweppes’ lead education strategist Max Venning of London’s Three Sheets – innovative seasonal serves will be supported by new to world training for all levels of bartender.

Get in touch with your local BA to discuss how Schweppes can help you and your teams innovate into the future.
