Stockley’s growing presence within handcrafted confectionery, indulgent chocolate and enticing fudges meant that it was only a matter of time before this leading voice within top drawer British confectionery needed to review and enhance its production capabilities to meet its bold, long-term expansion plans.
Having out-grown its current site thanks to an ambitious vision and consistent double-digit growth, Mark Adcock (MD) explained how it was now, ‘Imperative that a business enjoying positive growing pains was both willing and able to take the next step to a new, purpose-built facility that could fulfil its significant growth ambitions; whilst staying true to the business’s proud Lancashire roots.’
Although change can be daunting, this latest step-change move only meant moving a modest 10 miles down the road from Blackburn to Burnley meaning that Stockley’s was able to retain its highly talented team as part of the custom-made facility move to ensure they remained at very epicentre of Stockley’s bold growth plans.
Long established as a leading supplier of both branded and private label confectionery, this latest chapter in Stockley’s 107 year history was meticulously planned, on the one hand to support the business’s ambitious growth commitments within a BRC AA accredited facility, whilst at the same time staying true to time-honoured confectionery traditions and handcrafted production methods that are central to Stockley’s distinct reputation.
For all this change it’s only right to underline that Stockley’s remains committed to the ever-growing numbers of confectionery enthusiasts seeking out a far-reaching collection of quality treats that reconnect them to happy, yesteryear memories. As such, Stockley’s remains a proud custodian of quality fayre, classic sweet shop favourites and compelling flavour twists that hark back to simpler times.
