The new platform has been developed with a focus on enhancing customer experience and showcasing to consumers Devonia’s sustainable collect, wash, and reuse process, which ensures its bottles are refilled on average eight times. Some of the key features of the new website include highlighting the positive environmental impacts of Devonia’s reuse processes and a customer-first approach to business, plus offering an integrated order system that enables both new and existing customers to place orders efficiently. Director of Devonia Spring Water, Fiona Graham said: “We are extremely proud of the progress we have made this year as a small independent business. For us, 2024 was a time to reflect and ultimately, refresh the brand as a whole to ensure consumers have the opportunity to understand the concept behind our bottled water company.” Fiona continued: “I’m thrilled with the outcome of our new website, which we partnered with Plymouth-based creative agency Upshot to build. Working with Upshot has enabled us to expertly bring our brand to life through an interactive and dynamic website.” Plymouth-based brand agency, Upshot, was first commissioned to take on the rebrand project, which included brand strategy, a new visual identity and website. Upshot’s creative director, Owen Jones, added: “It’s been a huge privilege to work with Fiona and Neil on Devonia’s rebrand and website over the last year or so, and we’re proud to have played a part in helping their business grow. Their environmental impact is clear to see, but beyond that, they are a fantastic example of a small family business with strong values making a difference. The new website tells its story engagingly and naturally and provides a practical solution for customer ordering and reordering.” www.devoniawater.co.uk www.unsplash.com PADSTOW DISTILLING LAUNCHES BESPOKE WEDDING BATCHES Padstow Distilling, the Cornish distillery that secured four standout awards at this year’s IWSC awards, is now supplying bespoke batches of premium spirits to couples celebrating their weddings in the UK. The artisan drinks brand opened its new premises in the Cornish town of Padstow in April, where local founder and head distiller David McWilliam has been hand-crafting small batches of gin and vodka using ingredients from the shores of North Cornwall’s coast. Despite increased production capabilities in the new distillery, the batch size is kept small at 60 bottles, allowing David to oversee every element of distillation. Small trial or bespoke batches are perfect for wedding favours and similar celebrations. Couples can fuel their wedding with their own individualised batch, each one customised with their initials. They can choose from Padstow Distilling’s signature range or enjoy a special edition flavour. www.padstowdistilling.co.uk 10
