The Grown Up Chocolate Company

The Grown Up Chocolate Company has made it their rather delicious mission to create the most indulgent and decadent chocolates. Everything is handmade in the UK and distributed worldwide. The company’s unique, quirky branding and superb quality has meant it has secured business with the likes of Virgin Atlantic, Ocado and Booths.

Back in September 2011, founder James woke one morning with an idea he had for a chocolate business. The idea was so strong that he felt encouraged to start producing it from his very own kitchen table, with practically no investment but with a large dollop of enthusiasm. James’s story is truly entrepreneurial and propelled very quickly from there on. The company now produce up to 80,000 bars of chocolate a week and have gone from 2 people to a team of 30 employees in just 6 years; it’s quite the story of success.
