Brighter Foods was recently named Wales Start-up of the Year. Founded in 2014, the company specialises in healthy snack foods. Brighter Foods was also named food and drink start-up of the year and manufacturing start-up of the year for 2016.
It targets consumers who seek out snacks that are healthy and taste good. Among its products are snacks with high fibre, low fat, no dairy and/or no gluten. This is a fast-growing segment of the market and a promising target opportunity for an ambitious business seeking to expand sales.
In addition to contract manufacturing, Brighter Foods developed and now markets its own Wild Trail brand of snack bars, which are gluten- and dairy-free.
Wild Trails is being marketed via a microsite and is also available at Tesco, a channel partner that can help build brand awareness quickly. What product innovations will Brighter Foods introduce in 2017 to maintain its growth momentum?
