Benoit Nicol: “When I started, it was very
much local. I went to the local retailers, and
to the local fairs and Christmas markets. It
grew from there. I was lucky to find a space
in Dublin, in The Chocolate Factory, that’s
not only a great community space, but a
place where I could do my manufacturing
and bottling. The Chocolate Factory is
buzzing with local makers, and there’s
a great atmosphere. Local is very much
part of the spirit of our company. We sell
locally, and we also work with like-minded
companies, and small local companies.
We also have a strong emphasis on
sustainability. I know it’s a word that’s used
and misused, but I want to work with people
who do the right thing on their land, or in
their communities.”
