Dr Will's was born out of a passion to create a healthier alternative to traditional condiments. The idea stemmed from Dr Will's realisation that parents were adding sugary ketchup to vegetables to encourage their children to eat more, which sparked the question: Why couldn't condiments be both delicious and healthy? The brand has since become known for its range of natural, no-sugar-added sauces, mayos and dressings, positioning itself as the first all-natural condiments brand in the UK.

Dr Will's is a certified B Corp company, reflecting its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. The brand has also gained significant traction in the UK grocery market, with successful listings in major retailers such as Tesco. Their award-winning range, which includes table sauces, hot sauces and mayos, has received several accolades, including Great Taste Awards, and continues to disrupt the market by offering healthier alternatives to everyday condiments.
