Our Business

Welcome to Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd. We make, sell and deliver Coca-Cola products and other soft drinks in Great Britain.

We are proud of our brand portfolio - we offer our customers a complete choice of soft drinks for every occasion. Today we sell over four billion bottles and cans in GB every year. We are passionate about growing soft drink sales and we see an exciting future for the category in GB.

As leaders of the soft drinks category we have a responsibility to ensure our category grows. We have compiled our Open More Business category report based on extensive research we've conducted, and in this report we've outlined the customer and shopper changes we seek to influence. These proposals are evident in markets like Norway, Ireland and Belgium where per capita consumption rates are higher than in GB.

Our research shows that, if we can succeed with our customers in persuading every existing Soft Drinks consumer to buy just one more soft drink every fortnight, then within five years the GB Soft Drinks category would be worth an extra £1.4 billion.

While we aim to grow more, we aim to grow responsibly and we have to do so by using less.

Consistent with our global commitments, in GB we are working hard to manage the impact we have upon our environment across energy and climate protection, packaging and recycling, and water stewardship. We are focused upon improving wellbeing by offering a portfolio that meets all soft drink choices and by informing consumers and shoppers about our products so that they can make responsible decisions. And we are building a diverse and inclusive culture for our own people.

Coca-Cola may be a global company but CCE is a local business. We have our roots firmly in those communities in which we do business. We make 95 percent of our products in GB, a fact we put on our cans and bottles, and we are very proud of it.

We employ 4,500 people in GB and our goal is to maintain a workplace where people are inspired to work as a team and to achieve their personal best performance every day.
