“We’re now a much bigger business than herbs and spices and we wanted to make it more obvious to consumers that we are much more than herbs and spices,” Bond said.

Private-equity firm Langholm Capital, which bought a majority stake in Bart in 2010 as part of a management buy-out of the business, has supported the creation of the new corporate identity with fresh investment in the company.
