Hancocks Wholesale Sweets & Confectionery

Back in 1962, Ray and Liz Hancock saw the need for quality wholesale confectionery in the UK. Having filled their sweet shop in Shepshed, near Loughborough, with as much stock as they could, they started their wholesale confectionery journey. Business took off and the company grew rapidly, expanding to bigger premises three times and opening a second cash and carry all by 1970! Today, Hancocks is the UK’s largest confectionery wholesaler, serving a wide range of businesses with the very best bulk sweets, chocolate and much more throughout the year. Our range is bursting with pick n mix sweets, all kinds of chocolate, big brands and seasonal stock for the biggest dates in your calendar, such as Christmas, Easter, and Halloween, so you can serve the nation's sweet tooth all year round with Hancocks confectionery.
