Notice Information

Notice Title

Chocolate Bar Wrapping Machine

Notice Description

Josh's Chocolate is the trading name of Parker Confectionery Limited, a family run business that started in 2019 by Josh and his wife Alexa. Josh's affinity for Cornwall was something they wanted to weave into the chocolate they make. For this, they turned to the very talented St Ives based illustrator, Joanne Barry, tasking her with producing a suite of gorgeous illustrations depicting the idyllic outdoor/Cornish lifestyle of which they are so fond. The results were beautiful and have been used as the packaging for Jos's Chocolate range of chocolate bars. Josh's Chocolate now offers a range of dark and milk chocolate bars, over eight of which are flavoured with thoughtfully considered inclusions, gigantic chocolate buttons, creamy hot chocolate spoons and egg-squisite Easter eggs. Premium chocolate, capturing cherished moments, handmade here in Cornwall. The current factory is based in four repurposed shipping containers based alongside Josh's childhood home, Callestick Farm. We have a dedicated, closeknit team making and packing in our 'melt and mould' operation, combining with additional flavour essences, caramel, fruit, nuts, and ginger inclusions. The range consists of eight 100g bars, the famous gigantic chocolate buttons and hot chocolate stirring spoons. We are looking for a specialist artisan chocolate bar wrapping machine. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender.
