From the very beginning of Hancocks, we have understood the importance of pick n mix for confectionery retailers. Offering great value and top quality pick n mix sweets that are in demand, there’s no wonder that our very own Kingsway sweets have long been a hit with our customers for so long.

So, allow us to introduce some of the new brands that have joined the Hancocks family.
Working closely with both customers and suppliers has long been key to the Hancocks success story. Throughout our history, we’ve had numerous long-standing relationships with amazing brands and confectioners – but none have run longer than that with Walker’s Nonsuch. Our relationship with them began in the very early days of Hancocks as a wholesaler. But Walker’s own story stretches much further back.

Navigating the world of on-the-go nutrition can be a maze, both for retailers and consumers, with so many options available.

A key part of the Healthier at Hancocks range, both energy and protein bars form part of our carefully curated selection that caters to healthier lifestyles.
Over the years, consumer tastes have evolved and led to changing demands and expectations from the market. Recently, we have seen this drive demand for more conscientious products. From kudos for responsible packaging and natural ingredients to the growing range of dietary requirements that are now mainstream, it is clear that consumer priorities are shifting.
Across snacking and confectionery sales, a trend has been reflecting a broader societal shift towards wellness and sustainability. The same can be seen with drinks, too. The trend is present among consumers who seek all kinds of drinks. Shoppers prioritising wider benefits from their beverages is nothing new – but it is gaining further momentum. For a long time, there have been shoppers looking for sugar-free options, but for a while now the movement has seen focus become much wider and more detailed. This pivot is not merely about cutting down on sugar; it's a reflection of a deeper desire for products that align with healthier lifestyles and mindful consumption.
Bursting onto the scene as recently as 2019, Sneak Energy took the market by storm with their now-iconic bunny mascot, fine-tuned recipes and jaw-dropping flavours. Not only were their clean energy drink recipes brilliantly received, but their quirky online persona simply gave people another reason to love them. So much so, that they successfully expanded their offering to include unique merch that fans adore. It’s safe to say that Sneak is a brand with cachet.
