Welcome to Unlocking Insights, the series where we speak with company founders and senior business leaders from across the globe as part of Unlocking Ambition – Scotland’s flagship entrepreneurial development programme. This episode: Hannah Fisher is Co-Founder at The Start-Up Drinks Lab. Hannah and co-founder Craig Strachan, met through business accelerator Entrepreneurial Spark when they were trying get their own soft drink brands off the ground. However, finding a suitable third-party manufacturer to produce and bottle their products proved to be a significant challenge. Between them, they had approached over 30 manufacturers in the UK and Europe with little success. Spotting a real gap in the market, they set out to create a facility that would allow other fledgling brands to bring their products to market by breaking down the biggest barriers to production. In this episode Hannah talks us through the Start-up Drinks Lab story and how she and Craig have navigated their innovative Drinkubator service. #UnlockingAmbition is a business accelerator  that provides intensive wrap-around support for Scotland’s most promising and talented entrepreneurs; amplifying Scottish innovations that will benefit society, the environment and the economy.
