In 2014 Josh White travelled to Thailand with two friends and discovered a serious plastic bottle issue on the remote island. Despite having no interest in sustainability at the time they quickly realised they were part of the problem, and they wanted to find a solution.
And that's when they created canned water, something that didn't exist before, and CanO Water was born. In 2016 they launched in Selfridges and fast forward a decade and they now have a celebrity investor in Ricky Gervais.
In his own words, Josh is an accidental entrepreneur. Diagnosed with ADHD as a child he battled addiction and he was "never ever meant to be where he is today."
Josh's founder story is truly mind-blowing and a reminder ADHD founders can make their mark in the most unlikely of ways.
