Fudge, toffee, honeycomb?

You've come to the best place

Hi - We're Confection by Design and we make the finest fudge, toffee and honeycomb in the traditional way using tried and tested recipes and only the very best natural ingredients

 

Our fudge, toffee and honeycomb is so good that our customers come back to us time and time again looking for new flavours and textures to spice up their lives.  We are experts at what we do, after all we have been doing it since 1847

 

We’re part of Zubrance - a group of closely aligned food businesses with distinct values and a passion for bringing our insight and exertise to our customers.  Take a look to see what these values mean to us and you

Live it, breath it...

...and taste it too!

We're very passionate about what we do and this breathes pace and agility into our relationships with customers, suppliers and colleagues.  Passion inspires innovation into new products and the delivery of customer-oriented solutions.

 

Whether it’s standard, organic, fair trade, kosher, nut free or halal we make sure our products are produced without compromise. We cut the toffee when it’s made, not the corners on the way.

 

We make our fudge, toffee and honeycomb in much the same way you’d make it at home. We use the finest natural ingredients, cooked in copper pans, with much of the mixing, pouring and breaking done by the skilled hands of our dedicated team.   Harrogate is famous for its toffee, and as well as the UK, ours travels the world 

Fast, flexible and agile

Our raison d'etre

We try to build teams that are flexible in thought as well as deed.  We build strong, trusting relationships, we bring pace to the development cycle, producing samples quickly from our on-site, state of the art development kitchen, bespoke to our customers’ specific requirements

 

Our development team love a challenge, and once they’ve cracked the flavour and application you need, we’ll transfer the process to factory tests seamlessly.  We’ll understand your supply chain logistics to make sure our products reach you in perfect condition.  We’ll work to lower minimum order quantities, and we’ll do it all at speed, to reduce your time to market

 

What we don't know about fudge, toffee and honeycomb...

...isn't worth knowing!

We’ve been working in the confectionery industry for a long time.  Our team is uniquely experienced, having spent many years (too many to count…) working in the industry in all manner of roles.  We’re close knit, united by a common purpose - to make the finest fudge, toffee and honeycomb in the business

 

Knowledge is everything.  Just ask one of Europe's biggest bakery companies who needed to cut costs but not quality.  Our experience meant that we were able to re-engineer our recipe to reduce costs, yet leave the superb flavour uncompromised

 

Our values are important to us all: the passion, the pace, the energy, the commitment to deliver a solution – these are the things we look for in all of our team.   It’s what defines us, makes us different

We ooze Zubrance.

It's the way we are
Zubrance is more than a group of privately owned food companies.  It’s a collective purpose and vision dedicated to bringing value to customer relationships.  Passionate and expert, Zubrance companies lead the way with the best people, products and processes.

There are currently three companies in the Group.  As well as Confection by Design, down in Dudley our sister company Quality Kernels, processes nuts, seeds and dried fruit.   And over in Elland, there's New Ivory famous for its chilled sauces.

All of these businesses share the same ethos – the same Zubrance: a passion for quality, knowledge, pace and energy – not so much a ‘can do’ as an ‘already done’ attitude.
