Charlie Hoare

With an extremely tender bottom, Charlie Hoare got off his bike after a year having cycled 10,000 miles from Malaysia to London raising money for the mental health charity SANE. Switching the saddle for sap (but still wanting to satisfy his need for healthy living) Charlie then moved onto his next challenge – co-founding TAPPED birch water.

Charlie met his co-founder, Paul Lederer whilst working at Innocent Drinks and they have taken TAPPED from nothing to a business with RSV of £250,000 in it’s first year. They are building the tree water category, educating consumers about alternative sources of healthy hydration, whilst creating value for retailers. Charlie still cycles to work.
