Background

16 years ago, the One brand was born, a brand created to help tackle the global water crisis one person at time, one day at a time. To do this, we set up The One Foundation (UK Registered Charity No. 1118810) to fund sustainable programmes around clean, safe water in the world’s poorest communities. To date, The One Foundation has raised over £25 million and changed the lives of 4 million people.

The brand began life as a bottled water business (One Water) and expanded into spirits in 2017 with the birth of One Gin – a premium, copper distilled, London Dry gin with a signature botanical of fresh English sage. This very special gin was born out of the belief – and our customers’ expectations – that exceptional quality and doing good can work hand-in-hand. One Gin is the ‘full package’; it combines award-winning liquid, a widely acclaimed art deco label design and a minimum of 10% of profits donated to fund clean water projects.

In the last 4 years, we have won numerous awards, launched 3 gins, launched a gift range and are currently stocked in Tesco across 450 stores, Majestic London & Home Counties, John Lewis, Anthropologie, Claridge’s, Fullers pubs, Hippo Inns, Incognito Bars and many more. We work with partners such as Fever-Tree, Double Dutch, Thatcher’s Cider, and Root7 glassware to name but a few. We have started our export journey with Russia, Germany and Dubai as our first markets, and in discussions globally.

2021 is a big year for us – We are going through a crowdfunding round this winter and with investment, we will launch a beautiful new bespoke bottle with a sustainable twist, build export and grow our UK sales team. Our small team is made up of passionate, collaborative, inspiring team players – some with formal corporate training, all with entrepreneurial spirit – that believe in using business as a force for good and whose objective is to keep changing lives. We are building a laid back, collaborative, flexible culture and want to make sure our team is incentivised and rewarded for success.
