SCOTLAND’s favourite Tablet producers Mrs Tilly’s are celebrating a hat-trick of big wins with major Canadian supermarket chains who will launch their Famous Scottish Tablet across Canada later this month.
Following a successful trial phase, the Larbert based company has secured valuable shelf space in over 400 stores with retail giants, Walmart, Save on Foods and Freshco, for their deliciously indulgent sweet treat Tablet, the origins of which can be traced back to the 18th century Scots cookbooks of Lady Grisell Baillie.
Scottish food brands have a long-established track-record of international success with “home grown” Scottish fayre – including, shortbread, tea cakes and Irn Bru. This latest success adds another iconic product to the famous Scottish larder that tempts consumers all over the world.
Commenting on his company’s latest international sales success Managing Director Blair Paterson said,
“It is a well-known fact that Canada and Scotland have deep rooted historical family connections, with around 5 million Canadians claiming Scottish ancestry. We felt that there was a fantastic opportunity for us to introduce our famous Tablet to a market with such a genuine and long-standing affinity for Scotland and we look forward to building on this initial success over the next few years as the Mrs Tilly’s brand becomes more established in Canada.”
