TVS Drinksflow - David Pridmore

In the beverage dispense industry, precision, reliability, and speed of service are non-negotiable. At John Guest, we have built our reputation on delivering world-class fittings and fluid control solutions that power these exact standards. Our strategic partnership with Drinksflow, part of TVS Supply Chain Solutions, is taking that promise even further, combining engineering innovation with responsive, nationwide distribution.

Together, we are enabling bars, brewers, service engineers, and venues across the UK to serve drinks faster, smarter, and more sustainably.

Delivering confidence with every fitting

John Guest fittings are widely regarded as the industry standard in beverage dispense systems. Designed and manufactured in the UK, our products offer:

  • Push-fit simplicity for fast installation
  • Unrivalled consistency and reliability
  • Proven performance in demanding, high volume environments

Through our partnership with Drinksflow, these products are now more accessible than ever. With expanded stockholding and streamlined logistics, Drinksflow ensures that John Guest components are available for next day delivery, supporting everything from routine restocks to urgent breakdowns.

Why Drinksflow? A Distribution Partner That Delivers

Drinksflow was created to simplify how dispense product is sourced and supplied. With over 600 product lines and a customer base that spans national service providers to home bar enthusiasts, their e-commerce platform and responsive supply chain made them a natural distribution partner.

Drinksflow understands the urgency and expectations of our end customers. Their ability to respond quickly and reliably complements our technical leadership perfectly.

Since partnering, we have seen measurable benefits across the supply chain:

  • Reduced lead times through local stockholding
  • Stronger customer confidence through consistent availability
