There’s something special about a drink that’s made with care, crafted with passion, and rooted in generations of family tradition. For Cambridge Juice Company, every bottle tells a story, one that began over a century ago on the bustling market stalls of Cambridge and Royston and has since flourished into a thriving local business, proudly celebrating its 25th year of producing high-quality juices and snacks.
25 Years in the Making: A Family Legacy Pressed to Perfection
The story of Cambridge Juice Company is one of hard work, heritage, and a deep love for local produce. The journey began in 1901 when the Gray family set up fruit and vegetable stalls in Cambridge and Royston markets.
For decades, they became a familiar face, supplying the freshest produce to the local community. Then, in 2000, Matt Gray took a bold step, turning their fruit expertise into something new… distributing drinks to the local area and later freshly pressed juice. From one simple idea, a business was born. Fast forward to today, and the company is now proudly run by Kelly Richardson, who has been at the helm for the past 10 years, alongside her partner Jason Gray. Matt’s son and her partner in business and life.
Together, they are growing Cambridge Juice Company into something even more exciting, while keeping its heart firmly in the family and local community.
Even the next generation is getting involved, proving that the passion for fresh, local produce runs deep in the Gray family. And it’s not just them, Cambridge Juice Company is powered by an amazing team, many of whom have been part of the journey for years. They are more than employees; they are extended family, working together to bring the best in locally sourced drinks and snacks to businesses and homes across the region.
From Orchard to Bottle – True Taste of Local
What started with just apples and still apple juice has now expanded into a 13-product range, bursting with natural, refreshing flavours. Each sip is a testament to the quality of local ingredients, with apples hand-picked from Cam Valley Orchards and all production proudly based in the UK.
But it’s not just about what’s inside the bottle, it’s about the impact. By choosing Cambridge Juice Company, customers are supporting a low-food-mile business, reducing carbon footprints, and embracing a more sustainable way to enjoy great-tasting drinks. Wonky fruit that might otherwise go to waste is given new life in delicious juices, proving that nature’s best comes in all shapes and sizes.
