Founder at King of Kefir
📍 Ardee, County Louth, Ireland

Gerry Scullion is the founder of King of Kefir, Europes first dedicated water kefir brewery. Leveraging his biotechnology degree from Dublin City University and prior career in technical sales, he launched his company after being made redundant, creating a range of naturally fermented, no-sugar-added soft drinks to promote gut health.

His entrepreneurial journey began as a home-brewing hobby, driven by a passion for creating healthy, flavorful alternatives to sugary drinks. As a child, he foraged for wild strawberries and elderflower in his native County Monaghan and even sold radishes from his fathers garden, showing an early interest in business.

He started his company by developing and bottling his first batches in a shared innovation hub for small businesses in Dublin.
