John Harmsworth

John Harmsworth was a British entrepreneur who played a pivotal role in the commercialization of Perrier mineral water in the late 19th century. He acquired the rights to the water from French physician Louis Perrier, transforming it into a global brand by exporting it to the colonies of the British Empire and creating the iconic green bottle. Under his leadership, Perrier became synonymous with French elegance and was often referred to as the 'champagne of table waters.'
