Our ongoing investment and full-on flavour pipeline of innovation is welcoming millions of new shoppers to the category – from unveiling a first-to-market Pepperoni Pizza Pie and Slice to bringing the heat (and full-on flavour) to freezers with our new frozen Pies, Bakes & Sausage Rolls."
Rachel further added, "But none of this would be possible without the people of Britain – which is why we're putting them at the heart of our latest campaign and building even more momentum for the category. Our new 'Pukka for the people' creative shines a light on the many ways our wide range of products can be enjoyed, inspiring Brits to tuck into Pukka products any way they please – hot or cold, at home or on-the-go. By reminding the nation of the quality, versatility, and full-on flavour we've long been known and loved for, we'll drive even more shoppers to supermarket aisles and savoury pastry fixtures, continuing to support incremental sales growth for our retail customers with the Pukka magnetism that has proven to pull in shoppers."
