WELCOME                       TO IN THE MIX
    Dear Customer,

    Welcome to the first edition of our brand new monthly
    magazine, In the Mix.

    Over the past couple of months, we’ve been working hard
    to craft a more informative and entertaining monthly
    magazine for our customers. Our intention is to share as
    much of our industry knowledge with you as possible,
    alongside some relevant, fun and interesting content.

    There are several new and improved features I’d like to
    introduce to you. Firstly, the market report is now clearer
    with relevant information that will enable you and your
    business to make informed decisions with all the facts.
    We’re also bringing you insights into commodities from
    ‘Frank’s Futures’, providing you with an understanding of
    how the market may change.

    We’re going to be keeping you up-to-date with relevant
    industry news, upcoming events, trends and some
    delicious recipes to use for inspiration during busy
    seasonal periods. We will also be sharing price increases
    and decreases on all products, as well as notifying you of
    any changes to product specifications and how you can
    request them.

    If that wasn’t enough, in the latter half of the magazine
    we will continue to present you with our trademark
    range of fantastic product promotions and offers.
    Look out especially for our ‘Deal of the Month’ and our
    ‘BAKO Best Buys’, which are sure to save you money
    on key products.

    We really hope that you enjoy the changes we have made
    to the magazine, and as always if you have any comments,
    queries or concerns please do not hesitate to get in touch.

    MICHAEL TULLY
    Group Chief Executive

HOW MUCH IS THE
          UK’S EASTER SWEET
             TOOTH WORTH?
     Brits splash out millions   Easter is a huge time of the year for confectionery
           annually on Easter    and food producers as sales for both run into the
                                 hundreds of millions. In 2016, Easter chocolate,
      themed confectionery       sweets and baked goods accounted for over

                    and food.    £374 million in sales across the UK according
                                 to consumer research group, Mintel, with that
                                 number rising through 2017 and expected to
                                 do so again this year.

                                 Of course, Easter eggs account for the lion’s share of
                                 this spend, but also other Easter foods, such as hot
                                 cross buns and Simnel cake. As food manufacturers
                                 seek to take advantage of the increased spending
                                 there are also many variations and developments in
                                 the market with new Easter themed treats joining
                                 the more traditional options.

                                 It’s well known that us Brits have a sweet tooth.
                                 In fact, the UK actually leads the rest of the world
                                 in terms of chocolate spend per head

                                 with the average Brit consuming
                                 8.61kgs of chocolate per capita.
                                 However, it’s during Easter that we see the sharpest
                                 spending boost that retailers, manufacturers
                                 and suppliers should seek to capitalise with
                                 approximately 49% of Easter shoppers picking up
                                 something sweet as a gift!

                                 It’s little wonder that supermarkets are rolling out the
                                 Easter chocolate before most of us have even taken
                                 our Christmas trees down. Easter is big business
                                 and there are a number of opportunities to harness
                                 its power and capture a share of the increased
                                 spending that takes place as the holiday is perfectly

                                 long weekend and prominent advertising means
                                 it’s potentially one of the most important dates in
