The September food fair season provides the ideal setting for Stockley’s to unveil its initial selection of novel gifting options, including the highly anticipated introduction of its gift bottle of effervescent delights, namely Salted Caramel Malt Balls, as well as the latest incarnation of Stockley’s exquisite Sweet Shop Collection.
In the present day, the food and beverage industry is increasingly gravitating towards meticulously curated, more healthful dietary regimens in various forms, encompassing gluten-free options, improved digestive health, cognitive enhancers, low-carbohydrate protein-rich fare, plant-based alternatives, and organic produce.
Nevertheless, it is important to note that this trend should not preclude the occasional indulgence in well-deserved moments of respite, during which equally significant sentiments such as nostalgia, indulgence, and relaxation may take precedence.
Stockley’s stands as a rejuvenated pioneer within the United Kingdom’s handcrafted confectionery movement, a longstanding member of our nation’s beloved artisanal sweet-making community.

The company’s narrative commenced in 1918 when Malcolm Stockley returned from the front lines, resolute in his desire to bring a modicum of confectionery-induced joy to a sombre, post-war landscape.
Despite having cultivated an admirable reputation for ‘sweet treats’ across diverse confectionery domains, including hard-boiled sweets, buttery fudge, and chocolate-enrobed delicacies, it remains a simple truth that historically, Stockley’s was content to assume the role of a ‘behind-the-scenes’ purveyor to the United Kingdom’s discerning confectionery fraternity.
Andy Valentine, Stockley’s Head of Marketing, said: “Whilst we’re proud of our hard-earned reputation for sweets excellence, we felt it was time that the public put a name to the face, which is why this Autumn will see the arrival of some gifting and speciality offers where the Stockley’s name will sit loud, proud and centre!”
