Jack Cook-Broussine, the Thorntons brand manager for Finsbury, said: “We are very proud of our success with the Thorntons range and how it continues to go from strength-to-strength thanks to our shared values for creating high quality, innovative products.
“We’re looking forward to the next stage of our partnership and are already working toward introducing some exciting new additions to the range as we push on with our plan to grow the brand presence within the cake aisle.”
Thorntons was acquired by Italy-based food group Ferrero in 2015.
