New popcorn manufacturer completes factory refurbishment

New Leicester company Savoury & Sweet are about to launch a premium brand of popcorn onto the UK market - Lord Poppington’s - following a £250k+ refurbishment investment in their partnership production site - Savoury & Sweet are partnered with successful contract-packers Universal Flexible Packaging.
Savoury & Sweet director Kurt Hilder said “The growth of popcorn sales in the UK over the past 3 years has outstripped many food categories and with several small and large brands entering the snacking market this is a great time to be launching our range - we’re initially offering four natural flavour options under the Lord Poppington’s brand – Sweet and Salty, Lightly Salted, Chilli and Lime and Four Cheeses, but already have several other ideas in the pipeline and are also talking to some major household brands about potential manufacturing licensing deals. We also have an excellent second brand, Popcorn & Me, which is made with Fairtrade sugar.”
