Florette announces wildlife charity partnership

Florette announces wildlife charity partnership

Salad brand Florette, which sells 34 million packs annually in the UK, has partnered with community wildlife initiative Naturehood as part of the brand’s mission to support British wildlife populations and habitats across the country.

The collaboration with Naturehood, part of Earthwatch Europe, will see Florette promoting the vital work of the charity, engaging consumers to support wildlife at home and in their local communities.


The partnership continues the brand’s work to highlight its on-going commitment to protect the environment and promote sustainable farming methods, which recently saw Florette (part of Agrial Fresh Produce UK) recognised with a gold sustainability rating from EcoValdis – similar accreditation to receiving B Corp status.

“With consumers increasingly buying into brands that share their values, it is vital that businesses are transparent and authentic in how they conduct their business," said Martin Purdy, Commercial and Marketing Director at Florette UK. "At Florette we’re proud to ‘walk the walk’ and live our brand values daily.

“As a charity which shares our passion for supporting wildlife populations and sustainable agricultural practice, we’re delighted to be partnering with Naturehood and look forward to working together on exciting projects throughout the year to promote wildlife conservation to Florette shoppers. As we do so, we expect to see a further rise in demand for Florette as shoppers continue to seek out brands with genuine passion and authentic credentials in their field.

Naturehood Earthwatch

Josh Kubale, Senior Communications Manager at Earthwatch said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Florette to promote our Naturehood initiative. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world with more than 1 in 7 of our native species facing extinction. At the same time there is increasing evidence that contact with wildlife has significant health and wellbeing benefits. The Naturehood project is all about tackling this problem and empowering people to take positive action for wildlife and their community. Working with Florette means that we can connect with more people and have an even greater impact on local communities.”

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

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.
