Excitingly, ‘Tasty Mates’ is the name of our latest ‘sweets’ brand, rather than a so-not-needed news title on cannibalism.

Ocado is amazing and we are so excited about it but there are so many places we want to be – we want to be on everyone’s radar.”You’ve heard it before. A good idea is only as good as the passion in the people behind it. Our friends will tell you we just cannot help but talking. About sweets. All. The. Time. Share your passion. People will only buy into you and your business if they see how invested you are.
