Almost £7m has been raised by a soft drinks manufacturer whose products are sold by the likes of Lidl, M&S and Waitrose as it works towards an IPO.
Liverpool-based Happy Drinks Co, which also has a global partnership with the official Emoji brand, secured over £6.7m from nearly 900 investors during its latest Seedrs fundraising campaign.
The business had an initial target of £5m and had been valued at £48m ahead of the fundraise.
