EDITOR’s LETTER H
innovations and trends.
Innovation is always constant in the sector, so we have decided to dedicate this issue to showcasing some of the top confectionery products of 2021. Starting on page 12, we hear from some of the top brands in the sector about what we can expect for this year. From Ferrero, Plamil and Walker’s Nonsuch, through to Elizabeth Shaw and Nutkao, Kennedy’s Confection has all the insights. One particular highlight is the launch of luxury CBD truffles by the new UK start-up Freedom Street (p34). And while we are talking about trends, we take a look at what we can anticipate for 2021. Innova Market Insights highlights the top five snack and confectionery trends for this year (p48). It’s also refreshing to see many companies striving to make positive improvements to the sector. For example, Barry Callebaut has rolled out its new diversity and inclusion strategy which aims to help the business attract and retain talents from all parts of society and the world (p8). That’s not all, KIND Healthy Snacks has also revealed its commitment to support racial equality. Find out more on page 4. We have kicked the year off on a high note, celebrating all the fantastic things to come for 2021. We hope you enjoy this special issue – so sit back, relax and
read! Here’s to a better year…
