• The Brand

Co-founded by Ellie Goulding in 2020, SERVED has quickly established itself as one of the fastest-growing FMCG brands in the UK.

In September 2023, Heineken acquired a significant minority stake, marking a major milestone in the brand’s growth journey.

Our award-winning drinks are crafted for modern lifestyles without compromising on flavour.

The range includes ready-to-drink and draught cocktails, made using only the finest natural, sustainably sourced ingredients and premium spirits.

SERVED was the 2nd fastest-growing RTD spirit brand in the UK in 2025 and is now stocked in over 35,000 distribution points, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Morrisons, Ocado, Spar, Dhamecha, Parfetts, Premier, Londis, Budgens, Bestway Group and Booker Group.

The UK RTD category has grown 47.5% in the last five years and is now worth over £866m.

The premium ready-to-drink cocktail category grew by an astonishing 87% last year, as consumers look to enjoy high-quality cocktails in a convenient and sustainable format, a trend that shows no signs of slowing down.

We are led by a team who are passionate about the brand and maintain exceptionally high standards in all aspects of the business.

We’re looking for like-minded people who are entrepreneurial, self-starters, hungry and itching to make things happen.
