Embracing Innovation and Flexibility: A Conversation with Tim and Glen from Drink X

Updated: Jan 18

Innovation and flexibility are the driving forces behind every successful business. For companies like Drink X, pushing boundaries and thinking outside the box are not just buzzwords; they are a way of life. Today, we sat down with Tim Page-Walker and Glen McColl, integral members of the Drink X team, to get a glimpse into their latest endeavours and how they continuously strive to improve their processes and products.


"Hey legends, for our blog today, what are you working on?"


Glen's eyes light up as he dives into the exciting project at hand. "Right now, we are focused on making our production process for one of our clients more efficient. Our goal is to increase throughput by running two sides of the machine simultaneously. This will enhance the overall productivity of the pasteuriser, and bottling process."


Innovation is at the core of Drink X's approach. They see challenges as opportunities to find creative solutions. Tim elaborates on their approach, "We could have taken the easy route, which was a bit slower and less cost-effective, but that's not our style. We believe in thinking outside the box and constantly exploring ways to do things better."


The path of innovation is not always straightforward, but Tim, Glen and the team are undeterred. "We recently faced a unique challenge with this particular run, as it involved a non-standard bottle that we don't typically use." said Tim, "To tackle this, we assembled the entire crew for a brainstorming session. The goal was to figure out how we could improve efficiencies and make this run a resounding success." They solution they came up with is a trade secret, putting the X into Drink X.

But what isn't a secret is being flexible is a crucial aspect of Drink X's business philosophy. They embrace versatility and adaptability, ensuring they can work with different bottles and products. Tim adds, "We believe in saying 'yes' to new challenges and then figuring out the best way to tackle them. It's all about pushing our boundaries while remaining financially viable."


At Drink X, they prefer triangles and circles over squares. Metaphorically, this means they relish tackling diverse challenges rather than confining themselves to a single, predictable path. Glen explains, "Many people limit themselves by staying within their comfort zones, but we're different. We thrive on the thrill of trying new things and expanding our capabilities."

Tim, Glen and the team understand that the future belongs to those who can adapt and innovate, and they are determined to continue leading the way in their industry. By embracing challenges and continuously pushing their limits, Drink X sets a compelling example for businesses looking to stay ahead in an ever-evolving market.


As our conversation with Tim and Glen comes to an end, we can't help but be inspired by Drink X's relentless pursuit of excellence. The values of innovation and flexibility are deeply embedded in their DNA, and they serve as a guiding light as they navigate the exciting journey of growth and success. We eagerly await their next breakthrough, confident that it will be another remarkable testament to the power of thinking differently and embracing change.
