Bill Bruce11 Jan 2012

Former Wales rugby captain and current Celebrity Big Brother house member Gareth Thomas has bought The Turbo Drinks Company with Sean Smith and fellow former Wales player Gareth Williams in a deal thought to be worth around £7m.

They now plan to bring its headquarters to Thomas’ home-​town, Bridgend, creating dozens of jobs.

Turbo’s flagship brand is Turbo Shandy – a 4% alcoholic drink made with lemonade and lager and packed in a distinctive 27.5cl black bottle.

The company now plans is to make the beer for the shandy drink on-​site in Wales, and launch other beverages – including an energy drink for the younger market.
