The iconic Royal Albert Hall set the stage for a night of celebration, connection and standout success as The Grocer Gold Awards 2025 honoured the most forward-thinking, hard-working names in UK grocery.

Boughey Distribution was proud to sponsor the Soft Drink of the Year category, a fast-evolving sector where creativity, functionality and conscious consumer choices continue to drive real change. Our Managing Director, Tim Moran, had the honour of presenting the award to this year’s winner, Plenish, whose range of cold-pressed juices, wellness shots and plant-based m*lks impressed the judges with its bold vision and consistent innovation.

This year’s shortlist featured an exciting mix of challenger brands and household names, each raising the bar for what a soft drink can be:
