A summer of cricket with Premier Foods

Premier Foods is offering independent retailers the chance to win tickets to this summer’s England International cricket matches at The Kia Oval as part of a new partnership deal.

The wholesale channel of Premier Foods has signed an initial one-year partnership with Surrey County Cricket Club and, in association with Bestway and Unitas, is offering convenience retailers a chance to enter a competition to win tickets to watch either England vs Australia or England vs New Zealand.*


Independent retailers will need to purchase five or more price-marked pack (PMP) cases of eligible products to enter. These include products from the Batchelors, Bisto, Ambrosia, Sharwood’s & McDougalls/Bero ranges.

“Knowing how popular cricket is among our independent retailers, this partnership with Surrey Cricket Club is a great opportunity for both us and them!" said Courtney Lewis, Customer Director for Discounters and Wholesale at Premier Foods. "To celebrate the collaboration, we’re pleased to offer customers the chance to win tickets to attend one of two thrilling international games. This is also a great opportunity to maximise summer events and occasions with our brands to help drive further impulse purchases.”

Charlie Buck, Commercial Director at Surrey Cricket, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Premier Foods to the Surrey family. We’re looking forward to working with them to deliver an exciting partnership that will offer retailers exciting matchday experiences at The Kia Oval this summer.”

To mark the launch of the competition, Premier Foods is hosting a top England cricket star at Bestway Park Royal on Monday 3 July at 12pm, who will be speaking about his career and meeting wholesale customers on the day.

Gnaw ‘new-stalgia’: pud-themed Chocolate Spoons and flavoured choc bars

Tapping into “new-stalgia” (an anticipated hot food trend in 2025), Gnaw has been working tirelessly to rethink Great British puddings by creating a number of “Hug in a Mug” classics (Crème Brulée, Bakewell Tart, Sticky Toffee Pud) in conjunction with an impressive “pudfolio” of dessert-flavoured bars: New York Cheesecake, Christmas Pudding, Banoffee Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding.
