Hero übernimmt britische Food-Marke Deliciously Ella
Original
Deliciously Ella sells vegan bars, granola, nut mixes and crackers, among other things. Hero hopes the takeover will enable it to enter the British snack market. However, the UK is not new territory for the Swiss group: it is already present in the country with Organix, a brand for baby food.
The Deliciously brand has seen “rapid growth” since it was founded in 2016. The takeover will now enable the company to reach “millions more customers around the world”. Food blogger and entrepreneur Ella Mills and her husband Matthew, CEO of the company, will reportedly remain with the company and “lead the next stage of growth”.
Best-selling debut cook book
Ella Mills, who was called Woodward at the time, started a blog with plant-based recipes in 2012 after changing her diet due to illness. This was followed by her first cookbook in 2015, which, according to an article in Forbes, became the best-selling debut cookbook of all time in the UK and made the blogger instantly famous.
A year later, the first snacks followed, which were sold at coffee chain Starbucks and supermarket chains Whole Foods and Waitrose, among others. According to the company website, Deliciously Ella products are now available in over 10,000 stores in the UK and Europe, and have also been available in Switzerland since 2021.
