September marks a significant moment for Stockley’s as the historic confectionery brand steps into the spotlight with its new gifting range. This season, Stockley’s will unveil its highly anticipated gift bottle of bubbles—Salted Caramel Malt Balls—alongside the latest version of its beloved Sweet Shop Collection, set to captivate attendees at various food fairs.
As the food and drinks industry increasingly leans towards health-conscious trends such as gluten-free, gut health, nootropics, low-carb, and plant-based diets, Stockley’s reminds us that there’s still room for indulgence. The company celebrates nostalgia and relaxation with its latest offerings, allowing consumers a moment of sweet escape amid the growing emphasis on healthier eating.
Founded in 1918 by Malcolm Stockley, a post-war veteran committed to spreading joy in a bleak era, Stockley’s has long been a key player in the UK’s handcrafted sweets movement. Known for its artisanal approach, the brand has built a strong reputation with a diverse portfolio that includes hard-boiled sweets, buttery fudge, and chocolate-coated treats. Historically, Stockley’s operated behind the scenes, serving discerning confectionery enthusiasts across the nation without much fanfare.
However, Stockley’s is ready to embrace a more prominent role in the market. According to Andy Valentine, Stockley’s Head of Marketing, “We’re proud of our reputation for sweets excellence, but it’s time for the public to recognise the Stockley’s name. This Autumn, we’re bringing forward gifting and speciality offers where our brand will stand loud, proud, and centre stage.”
With this bold move, Stockley’s aims to blend tradition with modern tastes, appealing to both loyal fans and new audiences alike.
