About Radnor
Independent and family owned, Radnor is one of the UK's leading soft drinks manufacturers and sells over 400 million drinks a year.
Based in beautiful countryside in the heart of Powys, Wales, environmental sustainability is at the forefront of our company and we are committed to minimising our impact. We are proud to be a zero to landfill site. We are also supporting a circular economy, sending any waste, including our plastic, back to the source to be reused and recycled. All of our plastic bottles are 100% recyclable and also made up of 30% recycled material.
We will soon open our own £1.2 million solar farm to power our manufacturing site. This will produce 21% of the company's energy and will support our pledge to the planet to become more sustainable and to protect the environment around us.
For over 30 years, our award-winning drinks have been made using a pure spring water source running just metres from our site. We manufacture bottled, canned and TetraPak soft drinks and our customers include schools, stores and supermarkets nationwide.
We're looking for exceptional people to join our team and contribute to the future success of the business.
