Burton McCall
Michelle Dickinson, managing director For Burton McCall, 2023 proved to be a stronger year than expected considering the economic climate. We saw the addition of two brands into our housewares family: NoStik in February and GreenPan in June, both of which strengthen our presence in this category. We are excited to see where we can develop them in the market and what opportunities open up with this expansion in our portfolio. A particular high point in 2023 was seeing the growth of Stanley
where we have had an incredibly strong year. The introduction of the Ice Flow Tumbler and the famous Stanley Quencher which has taken social media by storm, has well and truly put the brand in the spotlight. We anticipate this to continue in 2024 with further product launches due in Spring/Summer. Whilst we remain cautious for the year ahead, we will remain optimistic, working with our current customers to support their business and continue to develop new opportunities.
