Luxury British cacao grower and chocolatier Hotel Chocolat was founded to make people happy through chocolate! Co-founders Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris built the brand on three unwavering pillars – Originality, Authenticity and Ethics – that remain central to the brand’s success. Starting as an early online brand, the first Hotel Chocolat store opened in Hertfordshire in 2004, and its manager is still at the helm. Today, we have more than 120 Hotel Chocolat's across the UK, with a multi-million strong online global customer database. In the grounds of our eco-conscious, organic cacao farm in Saint Lucia we have also created an amazing visitor experience Project Chocolat, together with the award-winning Rabot Hotel and Restaurant. One of the few chocolate makers to actually grow cacao, we connect the world of sustainable agriculture with the hedonism of top-quality chocolate. This knowledge has enabled us to bring an innovative Gentle Farming programme into the world, bringing to our cacao growing communities enough money for a happy life whilst supporting a bio-diverse, climate smart farming technique. The Hotel Chocolat team has a strong set of cultural values best summarised as ‘Be brave. Be kind.’ We’re just getting started. Come and be a part of what’s next.

Nuts, nuts & nuts again. & spreads & snacks & sometimes squirrels. Started by Pip & her kitchen blender, we're here to put the nut back in nutrition - so far, so good: we're the UK's No.1 Nut Butter Brand, the biggest driver of cereal bar category growth this year & we've got loads still to come. The big secret? We let our nuts do the talking. Packed with protein, fibre & monounsaturated fats (the good ones), we use the best nuts for the job. No palm oil. No unnecessary extras. We like our food full of real & recognisable ingredients, & you will too. As a Certified B Corp since 2019 (www.bcorp.com), we think all businesses should have a conscience. Whether it's giving 10% of our profits to The Pip & Nut Foundation (www.pipandnutfoundation.org), investing in regenerative agriculture, or pushing for progressive people policies, we'll always put people & the planet alongside profit. We'll also always be honest when things haven't gone to plan. If you want to know more about all things natural nuttiness, being one of The Sunday Times Best Places To Work or making the best squirrel puns - you're on the right page. Toodle-Pip!
