Nichols

Great to see Nichols featured in The Times' Tempus column following the release of our Interim Results this week.   The piece gives a Buy recommendation, highlighting our strong first half performance, including Group revenue growth of 4.7% to £89.5m, record first half cash generation and the 34.7% increase in our interim dividend.   It also points to our long-term growth opportunity in Africa and the Middle East, the strength of our asset-light model, and the role of partnerships and licensing in taking Vimto into new categories, including those with Myprotein and Applied Nutrition plc.   As Tempus notes, our strong cash position continues to provide us flexibility to invest in growth, pursue acquisition opportunities or return cash to shareholders.   Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eVsg83nm   #WeMakeLifeTasteBetter

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this year's Nichols Charity Golf Day. Despite the soaring temperatures, our partners embraced the challenge, and together we raised an incredible £25,000 for Warrington Youth Zone. ⛳☀️ This funding will make a real difference, helping to expand the WYZ's sports and physical activity programme so that thousands of local children and young people can access opportunities including multisports, rock climbing, gym sessions and boxing, seven days a week. For many young people, especially those facing disadvantage, sport is about so much more than keeping active. It provides a safe place to belong, trusted adult role models, greater confidence and positive opportunities that can help shape brighter futures. Congratulations to the winning team from Swizzels, and to everyone who sponsored, donated, played and volunteered – a huge thank you! 🙏 Your generosity will have a lasting impact on the lives of young people across our local community. #Community #Charity #Partnerships #WarringtonYouthZone #WeMakeLifeTasteBetter

New product launch 🚀 Capitalising on the growing popularity of the functional drinks segment, we are delighted to be expanding our partnership with Myprotein and THG through the launch of Myprotein Clear Whey Protein Water.   Launching across a range of retail channels in September, the 500ml RTD range will be available in two flavours, Vimto and Raspberry Lemon, and contains 15g of clear whey protein, while being sugar-free and low in calories.   By combining Myprotein’s credibility in sports nutrition with Nichols’ expertise in soft drinks and nationwide UK distribution, the launch strengthens our position in the fast-growing functional drinks category and reflects our continued focus on expanding into new formats and occasions.   Read more here in The Grocer: https://lnkd.in/eTinXhTV   #WeMakeLifeTasteBetter #Vimto #Myprotein

💜 Love at First Taste is officially underway! Last week we kicked off our Vimto Love at First Taste campaign at Barcode Festival, bringing the brand to life for the UK grocery trade. Our immersive Vimto brand experience celebrated the love consumers have for our iconic brand. The response was incredible: 💥1,864 samples of our on-the-go range handed out to thirsty festival-goers 🎯 More than 1,000 people took on our grabber game for the chance to win holiday vouchers and exclusive Vimto merchandise 📸 Hundreds of selfies captured at our Love at First Taste photo wall The best part? The conversations. It was fantastic to meet so many passionate Vimto superfans, while also introducing first-time tasters to the brand. Seeing people discover Vimto for the very first time – and instantly fall in love with the taste – is exactly what this campaign is all about. And we're only just getting started. Over the coming weeks, Love at First Taste will be popping up across the UK through our integrated campaign – from video-on-demand and eye-catching purple buses to bespoke in-store activations with our retail partners. Keep an eye out... you won't be able to miss us! 💜 #Vimto #BrandExperience #FMCG #Marketing #Groceryaid #WeMakeLifeTasteBetter

Pride is a pivotal month each year for raising awareness and celebrating LGBTQ+ culture, history, and community. It is a moment to reflect and celebrate how much positive progress has been made, but most importantly, it keeps us focused and conscious that there is still a long way to go if we are to enable a world where everyone feels truly safe, accepted and valued. To support and celebrate Pride in June, we invited Samuel Turner from our partners the LGBT Foundation to visit us on site this week. It created time for us to build our collective knowledge and importantly a chance to learn more about the importance of year-round allyship and why this is so valuable both in and outside of the workplace. Having the opportunity to understand, recognise and explore the role that allyship has to play is important and our goal is to ensure that we have an environment which leverages this and enables every individual (both members and allies) to feel fully included and supported. A massive thankyou to Sam and the LGBT Foundation for your support 💜 #Pride #inclusion #allyshipmatters
