“The Vimto flavour appeals to all ages and the brand is a firm household name. The product is top quality, so couple this with the well-established Vimto brand proposition … and our proven track record of producing some of Britain’s best loved sweets and we have a winning combination,” Tangerine marketing manager Helen Hartley said yesterday (12 April).

Earlier this year, Tangerine acquired local rival Smith Kendon. Last October, it bought the Wham and Highland Toffee brands after Scottish confectioner New McCowan fell into administration.
