innocent started with a simple mission: to make drinks that make it easy to do yourself some good. In 1999 we concocted a few smoothies in our kitchen and tested them on people at a music festival; today we’re blending every type of fruit & veg under the sun and selling drinks right across Europe. We have great ambitions: to show the world that you can build a successful business that cares about more than just profit, and to leave things better than we find them. We’re proud to call ourselves Europe’s favourite little healthy drinks company, but we’re still growing. And that means we need more brilliant people who share our ambition, to join in with the next, most exciting, part of our story.

New drinks, new countries, new drinkers and a shiny new factory. Here at innocent we’re going through an exciting period of growth with drinkers in more places and countries than ever before. All of this large-scale transformation is key to innocent’s future success as we continue our quest to create the earth's favourite little healthy drinks company.
