Hotel Chocolat stores have secured the most sought after position in this year’s Fast Track in association with The Sunday Times and Virgin. Ranking Number 1, the authentic chocolate brand fought off tough competition to secure its place as the UK’s fastest growing private business of the last three years.

Hotel Chocolat has grown consistently on the basis of solid sales results due to impressive consumer loyalty.

Famous for its beloved iconic slabs and seductive “cocoa cuisine” range, one of the many secrets behind the brand’s success is that despite its growth, the brand insists on remaining true to its core brand values; originality, authenticity and ethics.

Angus Thirlwell, CEO and Co-founder of Hotel Chocolat says: “In the current economic climate, we at Hotel Chocolat are very grateful for the unfaltering loyalty of our customer base, especially during these tougher times. A feel-good product, Hotel Chocolat is an affordable luxury and we hope that we can bring a much needed injection of fun and enjoyment during these times of financial insecurity”.
