Nestlé Purina PetCare has announced the acquisition of UK’s leading pet food brand Lily’s Kitchen.

Nestlé said the product range of Lily’s Kitchen, particularly in natural wet and dry dog foods and snacks, will complement Purina’s existing brand portfolio.

“Lily’s Kitchen is an excellent fit with our existing brand portfolio, and we look forward to supporting their continued growth with Purina’s own world-leading pet care expertise, insight and global resources,” said Bernard Meunier, chief executive of Nestlé Purina PetCare EMENA.

Founded by Henrietta Morrison in 2008, Lily’s Kitchen now offers natural recipes for dogs and cats across 6,000 stores in 30 countries. The £85 million brand has recently expanded into the Middle East and Asia and already has a growing presence in France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany.

Lily’s Kitchen will continue to be run as a stand-alone business from its base in Fitzrovia, London.

David Milner, chief executive of Lily’s Kitchen, said: “Nestlé Purina acknowledges the importance of Lily’s Kitchen’s values, which was fundamental to moving forward together. And while Lily’s Kitchen will continue to operate as a clear challenger brand, it’s a universal truth that both companies love pets and see them as part of the family.

“Nestlé Purina will help us build further brand awareness of our company and accelerate the continued expansion of our global footprint. Ultimately, working with Nestlé Purina will allow us to get our brilliant food to as many pets as possible around the world.”

Jameson teams up with Admiral, for a tracksuit modelled by Kyle Jameson

Irish Whiskey brand Jameson has been the English Football League's (EFL) main spirits sponsor for two seasons and is deeply entrenched in all aspects of the league, including player sponsorships. It has now signed up with Admiral to celebrate both brands' association with the beautiful game. They have worked closely together to create a full retro-inspired tracksuit in Jameson’s signature green, featuring key elements from Admiral’s world-famous designs for team performance wear, to create a slouchy royal green trackie ready prepped for pubs, presents, party games and freezing cold five-a-sides this Christmas.

“Jameson shares a history rich with the beautiful game, so teaming up with an iconic heritage brand like Admiral felt like a natural fit, with the results speaking for themselves,” said Josh McCarthy, Brand Director for Pernod Ricard UK. “A classic tracksuit, from two classic brands, to look sharp after the match when buying your mates a round of Jameson, Ginger and Lime. Nostalgia is everywhere at the moment and growing up in Leicester, there was no shortage of Admiral tops in the park and at the local football clubs.”
