Convenience, space and consistency with Fri-Jado’s latest unit

Convenience, space and consistency with Fri-Jado’s latest unit

Following the successful launch of the Multi Table-Top Display (MTT) portfolio earlier this year, Fri-Jado has now announced a range extension, introducing a highly practical rear feed model, allowing operators to load the unit more simply and quickly without compromising on the performance of the counter.

Complementing the existing products in the range, the new rear feed model takes all the existing technological and space innovations found in the company’s smallest hot holding range, adding a unique setup and service ability. Enabling operators to position the unit between front and back of house, the new MTT rear feed separates the food prep facilities from the customer area, delivering enhanced convenience.


With two independently controlled levels, the MTT range, including the new rear feed model is available in 600mm or 900mm widths, providing quality hot holding capability to retailers and food-to-go operators who are limited on available space. Taking inspiration from other models in the Fri-Jado portfolio, the MTT range features a mainly glass construction, making the unit virtually transparent, putting food in the spotlight to help drive impulse sales, especially important in the hot food-to-go market.

“When we launched the MTT range to bring effective, efficient hot holding to those who were space-limited. Featuring much of the same pioneering technology found in the larger models in our range, the MTT helped to open up hot food-to-go to independent retail sites and food kiosks and concessions often found in things like transport and leisure sites," said Gary Thacker, Sales Director, on the launch of the MTT rear-feed model.

"Adding even greater convenience, the new rear feed model adds even more accessibility for operators. The unique design allows an operator to load the unit from the rear, while customers self-serve from the front of the appliance. Twin shelves and multi-temperature operation allow different foods to be held, furthering the capability of the new MTT range.”

In line with Fri-Jado’s commitment to sustainability, the MTT range drives innovation by combining mid-shelf-heating and highly efficient Hot Blanket air circulation technology. This class-leading technology ensures that food held in the unit is not only maintained at the optimum temperature but also enables the unit to deliver savings of up to 50 per cent on energy consumption and costs when compared to other units in the market. A truly revolutionary unit, the MTT is genuinely plug-and-play, operating off a standard UK 13-amp power supply for maximum flexibility Operators simply need to plug it in and stock it with their best-selling wrapped hot food items.

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
