Candy Kittens
Careers at Candy Kittens
We are Candy Kittens a young British business who believe that life is too short for boring sweets. We were fed up with the traditional (boring) options that were available and decided to do something about it. We pride ourselves on the quality of our product and use the best natural ingredients to create a brand of sweets that is relevant for a modern world. We're taking on the big dogs to succeed we must be different - everything we do is done our way.
ABOUT US
We were bored of the same old synthetic sweets delivered in cheap packaging, emblazoned with cartoons. We identified a gap in the market for a high quality product and that’s exactly what we have delivered. We use the best ingredients including all natural colours and flavours to produce the best possible sweets. We put real fruit juice in every recipe for that extra authentic taste - strawberry actually tastes like strawberry!
We push ourselves to be as inventive as possible and will never stop innovating. Our distinctive, unique approach flies the flag for British style and taste with a universal appeal. The confectionery market is very traditional place with little genuine innovation. We're here to change that, leading the way with premium confectionery, strong values and distinctive flavours.
LIFE AT CANDY KITTENS
We are intent on moulding the best possible working culture. We want you to share our ambition.
Based in a light and airy office in South West London, we work together to take on some of the biggest names in food. In order to suceed we must work fast - work alongside and learn from a team of talented, genuine people. Every day is different.
We believe it is important to test and learn, constantly developing our skills and testing new ways of working - what do you want to learn? Everyone has a say and there is always an opportunity to make your mark – whatever the decision may be.
First class execution requires clarity and candour. Clear decisions and frank conversations are absolutely key.
Finally, an army marches on its stomach, which is why we venture out of the office for lunch together every Thursday.
THE MISSION
We are dedicated to leading change in confectionery, without compromise.
We are on a mission to be the number one global confectionery brand. Challenging traditional perceptions with quality, style and honesty. Investing in innovation and new product development to increase market share whilst creating an unrivalled customer experience.
WHAT NEXT?
We're growing very quickly and have no intentions of slowing down. We work with the biggest retailers in the UK and have exciting plans to accelerate our growth in the coming year. Our products are currently stocked in 13 countries aceoss the world and hope to add more names to that list very soon. We are well on our way to becoming a household name, and won't rest until we get there!
20% of 16–24 year olds are now following a vegan diet in the UK. Whether you are vegan for moral, dietry or religious reasons we believe you deserve a sweet treat! In 2016, we developed our first vegan flavour (Sweet Pineapple) to appeal to this important growing market. We're passionate about this cause and are working hard to convert our whole range to vegan within the next 12 months.
