Buoyed by the success of the biggest relaunch in our challenger brand’s 30-year history, we entered for the very first time; just to be shortlisted was reward in itself but for our endeavours to be recognised and to win outright was a phenomenal endorsement. The ripples of associated positivity have been many and varied: aside from generating smiles company-wide, the morning directly after the win a major retailer proactively contacted us to open dialogue about a potential listing!”

Honestly, we felt privileged just to be in the room on such a positive night for the food industry."

Winning a Grocer Gold is an experience we’ll never forget!"
