We are happy to help you with any enquiries you may have about our products. However, you may like to take a look at some frequently asked consumer questions, to avoid having to wait for a response. Click on the question to view your answer.
If you still have a query, please contact us.
Why can I not find certain products in the UK, which are available in other countries?
All our sister companies throughout the world are serviced by local manufacturing and marketing units, which cater for the specific market and cultural differences of that country.
We have to be certain before we launch a new product or variety onto the market and only if our consumer research shows high demand then we would consider introducing such a product.
Back to top ^Why do I only get a few of my favourite flavoured sweets compared to other flavours in mixed variety products?
Throughout the manufacturing process, a quantity of each sweet variety is weighed to the required specification of the assortment. The mix of sweets in each pack is intended to provide maximum consumer satisfaction, through balancing known sweet preferences with the need for assortment. Our aim is to produce each pack with the correct ratio of flavours but these numbers can sometimes vary.
Back to top ^Can I purchase my favourite Celebration sweet individually?
Unfortunately, Celebration sweets are only available in a mixed variety.
Celebrations intend to provide a blend of everyone’s favourites which are packed in different sizes to suit every occasion.
Back to top ^I cannot find my favourite product in store. Can you help me where to find it?
All of our products are delivered into central warehouses or wholesalers who in turn supply the supermarkets and shops around the country.
Whilst we do try to influence our major customers to supply as wide a range of our products as possible, we are unable to advise you of specific stockists.
The following supermarkets are able to advise if your local store has the product you require. It is sometimes possible for them to obtain the product for you from their usual wholesaler or warehouse.

Not all ideas are feasible due to technology restraints and are often many years in planning. All designs are generated in house and through our agencies.
