Taking a punt on a family recipe, grown-up soft drinks and getting a product to market (in lockdown) with Nuisance Drinks, Edinburgh

Independent Thinking - Exploring a new era for retail and the high street

A bonus episode especially for those in the midst of Sober October, and something a little different to our usual episodes about shops and shop-fronts, as we talk to Nuisance Drinks about starting a business during lockdown and what it takes to break into the world of soft drinks.
Hugo, founder of Nuisance, decided to leave his job working in the city to pursue a new path, making a soft drink out of what many of us would class as a weed - the humble nettle...
We talk about the benefits of being a risk taker, inspirations in the drinks industry and the journey of taking a product to market.
