Trivento, the number one Argentinean wine brand, is returning to Channel 5 from today, 1 February 2022. Under the partnership, 10-second idents from Trivento’s “Bold Discoveries” campaign will be shown during some of the channel’s most popular content.
Trivento, which has seen its sales grow +11.6 per cent by value in the past year, continues its investment in the UK market to secure its strong brand position. It recently celebrated Trivento Reserve Malbec becoming the best-selling wine sku in the market.
The idents will air across 25 hours of programming each month, reaching 69 per cent of the UK ABC Adult audience, who will see it an average of 34 times. It will be further supported on My5 video on demand (VOD), with 18.5m impressions forecasted.
“We have reached some incredible milestones in the last 12 months, breaking through the £100m RSV mark, into the Top 10 Wine Brands, and boasting the No.1 Wine sku in our portfolio," said Marketing Manager Preety Johl. "Our strategic partnership with Channel 5 continues to build awareness for Trivento through its great selection of programming appealing to the broader UK adult audience. The wide range of diverse content appeals to the more adventurous viewer which we feel is very aligned to our brand values. This is a great way to continue to drive top of mind awareness, brand sales and household penetration, and propel the growth momentum of Trivento.”
Clayton Park Bakery, the Accrington-based food firm owned by SPAR distributor James Hall & Co., has launched a quartet of new home replacement meals.
The new lines under the Clayton Park Kitchen brand include an All-Day Breakfast, Minced Beef & Onion with a Dumpling, Chicken & Chorizo with Penne Pasta, and Steak & Kidney Pudding with Mash & Veg.
The tasty new dishes are designed to be a meal solution for one person. Priced at £4.95 or two for £8, they are available now in SPAR stores across the North of England.
All four dishes, alongside other meals in the range, are in new packaging that gives a premium feel to the product, and they can be cooked in the oven or microwave.
The launch of the meals has coincided with a rebrand of Clayton Park Bakery’s complete range of products, and this is being phased in throughout January.
A two-tone colour block design brings in elements of contemporary and classic, with pastel colours paired with Clayton Park’s traditional cream which has been retained.
“It is exciting to start the new year with four fantastic additions to the Clayton Park Kitchen range as well as the rebrand which looks superb in-store,” Katie Atherton, trading manager for meal solutions, bakery and cakes at James Hall & Co, said.
“The new meals have been carefully thought through and bring a couple of British classics together with a fusion offer in the form of the chicken and chorizo meal, while the All-Day Breakfast is an opportunity to introduce a meal for a different occasion.
“The overall rebrand has given Clayton Park’s products a craft bakery and modern farm shop feel to them. It offers customers the sense of buying something more luxurious and premium which is mirrored by the quality of the products across all categories.”
TREK, the UK’s number two Protein Bar and one of the fastest-growing brands in Cereal and Sports Nutrition Bars, is shaking up the snacking market once again with the TREK Biscoff Protein Flapjack – a bold and irresistible new launch that’s set to dominate shelves in 2025.
Launching hot on the heels of TREK Power Biscoff, which has so far achieved more than £3.9M in sales, TREK is turning proven momentum into further brand and category growth. TREK Power Biscoff became the number one launch in the Cereal and Sports Nutrition Bars category for 20245. Now, the brand has big ambitions to once again deliver the best-selling bar launch with TREK Biscoff Protein Flapjack.
The new launch brings the iconic taste of Biscoff to the Protein Flapjacks range that TREK is famous for, accounting for 77 per cent of its total brand sales.
TREK Biscoff Protein Flapjack sees the classic TREK oat flapjack with 9g of plant-protein that shoppers know and love, smothered with a generous thick and creamy layer of unique Biscoff topping. All this is wrapped up in a convenient on-the-go bar for natural energy that keeps you going.
Alice Boardman, Marketing Manager at TREK, says, “This is THE launch that everyone’s been waiting for. TREK and Biscoff are an unstoppable combination that shoppers just can’t get enough of. With over 1.7 million TREK Power Biscoff bars already sold – that’s every minute – we knew extending Biscoff to our iconic Protein Flapjacks was the next big move.
“Our Power range, which provides shoppers with 15g of protein per bar, is incredibly popular, but even more so are our Flapjacks – which remain our core sales driver, delivering strong growth of nearly +£1m YOY8.
“Like with the rest of the Flapjacks portfolio, TREK Biscoff Protein Flapjacks provide 9g of natural protein energy, and are a source of fibre, keeping consumers satisfied between meals – all with TREK’s signature great taste.”
To cater to at home and on-the-go occasions, the new launch will be available as a 50g single bar, as well as a 3x50g multipack. Plus, to maximise visibility, the launch will be supported by a high-impact multi-channel campaign across in-store, PR, digital, social, out of home, and influencer marketing, with hotly anticipated sampling stock drops in various locations.
TREK will also be amplifying the launch across key brand partners over the coming months to drum-up visibility even more, including its ongoing partnership with Saracens.
TREK Biscoff Protein Flapjack launches on the back of TREK achieving £30M9 in retail sales value for the first time – a milestone driven by double-digit growth (+12 per cent)10 and the success of TREK Power Biscoff. The brand is expecting an even better year of growth with its newest addition.
TREK Biscoff® Protein Flapjack launches nationwide on 5th February in Sainsbury’s, rolling out grocery-wide from April. It will be available in a 50g single bar (RRP: £1.35) and a 3x50g multipack (RRP: £3.45). The new product will also be available in the wholesale and convenience channels.
Fortitude Spirits Group has unveiled a new premium bottle design for Hawksbill Caribbean Spiced Rum, the award-winning range of four rums which donates 10 per cent of profits to sea turtle conversation projects in Barbados.
The rebrand marks a major milestone for the brand as it secures a major listing across 130 Booker depots, bringing the premium spiced rum to an even wider audience. Hawksbill Rum is already one of the biggest sellers of spiced rum on Amazon in the UK.
The striking new bottle was designed to highlight the quality of Hawksbill Caribbean Spiced Rum and showcase each individual expression, Island Spices, Pineapple Core, Mango Peel and a brand new addition to the range, Banana Skin Caribbean Spiced Rum.

The new bottle design also shines a spotlight on Hawksbill’s commitment to the support of Hawksbill Sea Turtles. The new bottles are made with 100 per cent post-consumer recycled glass, plant-based inks and seals, as well as labels made from recycled sugarcane fibre and corks crafted with waste materials.
Each flavoured expression is also made using fruit that would have otherwise gone to waste, helping the brand to further minimise its impact on the environment. Launched in 2021, Hawksbill Caribbean Spiced Rum draws inspiration from the laid-back charm of the Caribbean, the people's lively spirit and the ocean's natural wonder.

Now available from Mevalco – the home of fine Spanish Foods – are this season’s freshly harvested pulses of the highest quality, sustainably sourced specially from a range of artisanal suppliers in Spain and selected for their exquisite flavour and texture.
A leading partner to Mevalco is Burcol - a family-owned business, which combines traditional methods with modern innovation in their production methods. Mevalco’s full range in Retail grocery includes Butter Beans, Caviar Lentils, Chickpeas, and the famously Spanish Verdina Beans.
According to Managing Director, David Menendez, pulses offer a great opportunity to retailers during winter months – not only do they offer good health benefits and nutritional value, but they also offer strong value for money to consumers whilst delivering them value add and depth to many dishes:
“These are the tiny ‘giants’ of nutrition, delivering terrific flavour and texture to winter dishes. For example, we see beautiful fish served with some beans, which is a very northern Spanish thing to do. For example, butter beans and cod are a match made in heaven, giving big flavours and essential nutrients and it looks highly impressive too”.
