#2 confectionery brand in Best Brands Survey

We are over the moon that we have been voted the #2 chocolate brand in the 'Chocolates and confectionery' category of Best Brands 2025; that's 2nd place for 4 out of the last 5 years.

Each year, Fine Food Digest magazine surveys independent retailers to uncover what their best-selling products are in the speciality food sector.

According to Best Brands "You could say that there's now a degree of stability in this category, both in terms of retailers' preferences and buyers' choices......Chocolate with clear and vibrant branding is a recipe for success in independent retailers' confectionery sections."

Whilst in the retail view, Jonathan Day, Bayley & Sage buyer states that "Ethical certifications like Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance and B Corp play a big role in our ranging decisions as we want to work with suppliers who help farmers and workers, and are also considerate of the environment".

Thank  you as ever for voting for us - what a way to start off the year!
