Standy Holdings is the parent company of a soft drinks manufacturer. We are taking on the big brands with products that compete on quality and price. We produce an array of soft drinks which we sell directly to wholesalers, with major clients including Matthew Clark, Molson Coors and LWC. Our main customer is Intertain, otherwise known as Walkabout pubs. We are now looking for finance to consolidate existing loans and develop new products.

Dispensing quality.

Launched in 2012, Standy Ltd is one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of dispensary equipment and drinks to bars, pubs and other venues.
We offer a great new range of cost effective Bag in Box drink syrups, which comprise of Cola, Diet Cola, Lemonade, Orange, Cranberry, Energy and Tonic, as well as installations of necessary dispensing equipment.

Standy Holdings Ltd is a parent company of the following companies, listed in group structure order:
Standy Holdings Ltd (Parent)
- Riverside Bottling Company
- Riviera Drinks Ltd
- Anglo Drinks Ltd

At Riviera Drinks Ltd, we are hugely proud of the quality of our drink syrups. We are confident of defying your initial perceptions! To challenge the market leaders, we set-out to really invest in product quality, both in terms of ingredient and taste-profile.

Riviera Drinks Ltd has an administrative office near Colchester, our own production facility and distribution, with an engineering base in Staffordshire and Sales Managers based all over the country.

We have clients from Inverness to Penzance and most areas in between. They range from community pubs to national nightclub chains, from fast-food restaurants to exclusive gastro-pubs, from huge 24-hour casino's to seasonal holiday parks! All our clients have a shared passion to attain both quality and value from their soft-drinks range. We challenge you to try our products, recognise our service levels & understand our suggested retail positioning.

Riviera Drinks focus on four key areas within the drinks market:
Sales process
Installation criteria
Trading Agreement
Servicing

With Riviera Drinks, we are happy to invest in supplying and installing your venue with 'free-on-loan' dispense equipment. All we need to know is what sales we then receive will be worthwhile commercially. So – upon initial dialogue – we'll be as keen to know what equipment you need and how many BiB's (Bag in Box) you're likely to use annually, that way, you will be to find out if our drinks are suitable in terms of taste and price.

Assuming you wish to stock our range and we're happy to provide the equipment required, then what happens next? Our Sales Team will explain to you that we can only queue your premises for an installation once our 'Conditions for Loan of Equipment' document has been signed. This is important for us as it provides a record of our expectations, but vitally gives Riviera Drinks Ltd clear control and tracking of our valuable equipment assets. The document emphasises that the dispense equipment provided always remains our property. There is an obligation for our clients to only dispense our syrups through the equipment and to look after it, ultimately ensuring its safe return, should it no longer be required. We are a commercial business, but also operate with total clarity, fairness and to widely accepted 'industry standards'.

When our equipment is placed, we then service and repair it free of charge. This naturally assumes care is taken and the equipment is subject to just usual 'wear & tear'! Our Sales Managers are trained as basic engineers and can often advise or fix smaller issues when present. Our team of highly skilled specialist technicians roam the country checking and servicing the equipment at regular intervals. This preventative approach best assures your service is never interrupted.

Our new website will contain care advice and a 'fault-finding' section, as very often an issue can be quickly solved by your own venue team. However, should a breakdown require the attendance of one of our own technicians, we offer industry leading support. For a non-critical issue, we will ordinarily attend within a couple of days depending on our journey planning & when you next need to use the equipment. Our technicians' working hours are typically 8am-9pm, with support offered 365 days of the year, a commitment we are proud of!
