Kingsway celebrates 60th birthday with brand refresh

Kingsway celebrates 60th birthday with brand refresh

Pick and mix brand favourite Kingsway has been given a new look to tie in with its 60th birthday celebrations.

The leading range of pick and mix confectionery is stocked by Hancocks in its depots across the country and online.


Founded in 1962, the brand has since introduced jelly, foam, chocolate and hard candy pick and mix to retailers and their customers.

“The Kingsway logo hasn’t been refreshed for a decade so now is the perfect time to give it a new, modern look and mark the brand's 60th birthday,” Chris Smith, Marketing Communications Manager at Hancocks, said.

“This is a popular range for Hancocks both in store and online. It’s recognised for its top quality and supplying products retailers can rely on.

The logo has been updated changing from a jester crown to a royal crown with the founding year added to emphasise its longevity in the confectionery market.

Product types have been given their own colours to make navigation and recognition easier - both for retailers and their customers.

“The Experts Choice range will be coming soon and will take that one step further with the very best premium products for retailers and their customers to enjoy. Appealing to shoppers across the UK,” Smith added.

Mr Kipling introduces new Simnel Slices as part of its Easter range

The UK’s number one cake brand , Mr Kipling, is launching new limited-edition Simnel Slices just in time for Easter. Expanding the season beyond the classic chocolate treats, Mr Kipling is bringing a fruity Easter flavour onto shelves, expanding retailers’ seasonal cake ranges this year.

Simnel is the third most popular cake flavour at Easter , growing 7.4 per cent versus 2023. Often found across Easter in larger sharing cakes, the new Mr Kipling slices look to meet the growing demand for this flavour in a smaller convenient format, leveraging Mr Kipling’s number one cake format. Whilst Simnel is highly relevant to the season, there is an untapped opportunity in a smaller slices format. This launch will tap into the demand for seasonally relevant options among shoppers aged 45 and above , with Mr Kipling’s tried and tested credentials. New Simnel slices encapsulate a fluffy and moist sponge with succulent dried fruit, sandwiched with a moist marzipan flavour filling and topped with soft marzipan flavour icing.
