Drinks industry veteran Niall Phelan has struck international distribution deals for his latest venture, The Naked Collective. The Naked Collective has also landed a Canadian distribution deal and plans to launch the vitamin-rich drinks in the US, Italy and Asia, it said. An Irish distribution deal will also see the new vegan-friendly isotonic drinks available in 3,000 Irish stores, and a further 3,000 bars and restaurants here, by the summer of next year in Ireland. They are currently available in Tesco, BWG's Spar, Londis and Mace stores in Ireland and in Circle K from this week. "We recognised a serious gap in the market," said Phelan.
