Candy Kittens summer party yesterday and what a celebration it was!! Sometimes you need moments like this to actually process how far we’ve come. 13 years ago Edward and I started with basically nothing - couldn’t afford our first batch of sweets, had no idea what we were doing, just knew we wanted to change the confectionery game. Things have changed a bit since then… - A packet sold every 3.4 seconds - Fastest growing sweet company in the UK - Stocked in every Tesco in the UK - Certified B Corp trying to do things the right way - A team of incredible people who make it all happen From that tiny pop-up shop on King's Road to this - none of it would exist without the people celebrating yesterday. The ones who believed in the mad idea when we had nothing and the ones who keep pushing us forward every single day. The fact this is all happening absolutely in tandem/alongside JamPot Productions and Tuckshop London is just amazing. Same energy, same belief in backing creative people who want to change their industries. Thank you to everyone who has supported, tried, eaten, worked with and been a part of our amazing journey. Excited to make it one of the biggest confectionery companies in the world!! (I even got a small 'Candy' tattoo at the party!!) Couldn't be prouder 💪
