Copella's name and success stems from the late Devora Peake, who died in 1999. Devora was the daughter of Russian parents living in Tel Aviv. After finishing University there she set up home in the heart of the Suffolk countryside in the 1930's.
Throughout her childhood she had been totally inspired by her father's orange and almond groves back in Israel, so much so that she developed a 120 acre fruit farm with her husband, handling and selling soft fruits.
Bill and Devora Peake start farming in Boxford.
The Peakes diversify from farming by building the Golf Club.
The very first bottles of Copella are produced!
Sir John Harvey Jones assists the business through his "Troubleshooter" documentary programme.
The family, after having sold the business to Taunton Cider, buy it back again.
The chilled 1 Litre Copella is launched.
Devora Peake is awarded an MBE in recognition of her contribution to fruit growing and juicing.
