Barr Britvic Soft Drinks plc was a proposed company to be founded by the merger between two British soft drink manufacturers, A G Barr and Britvic. Former Britvic shareholders were to own 63 per cent of the combined entity, whilst Barr shareholders would have held 37 per cent. Measured by revenue, it would have been one of the largest soft drinks companies in Europe. The company would have had annual sales of more than £1.5 billion and would have employed around 4,300 staff. The proposed merger was abandoned in July 2013, after the two companies failed to agree upon terms.
