With its reported growth of 522% over the last 12 months, CBD company, TRIP, has become the fastest growing drinks brand in the UK.
The company has stated that cans are flying off the shelves across the country, both at TRIP warehouses and at major retail stockists including Waitrose, Harrods, Sainsbury’s, Boots, Ocado and Holland & Barrett as well as hospitality stockists such as Soho House worldwide.
Founder, Olivia Ferdi, described the year’s achievements as “a special milestone for us, showing how far TRIP have come in our mission to destigmatise conversations about mental wellbeing and rework misconceptions about CBD, helping millions prioritise their health.”
