The story of Bonds of London Clotted Cream Fudge
Bought as a present, technically
Fudge is what you buy "for the neighbours" on the way home from somewhere nice, and the neighbours never see it. The bag gets opened at the first services. By the motorway it is half gone. Clotted cream fudge is the posh end of that habit, the one sitting by the till in the gift shop that you pretend to think about before buying two. This one comes from Bonds of London, a name that knows its way round a British sweet shop.

Old hands at the sweet jar
When the business changed hands in 2016, the trade press called Bonds of London one of the UK's oldest sweet businesses. Fair enough. Its name was made on traditional British sweets: the pick'n'mix jars and the hanging bags, the stuff you pointed at through the glass. The best-known jars are retro classics such as sherbet lemons and wine gums. If you ever had a paper bag weighed out on a Saturday with your pocket money, you know the territory.
New owners, same man in charge
In April 2016 Bonds of London was bought by Innovative Bites, a US-foods wholesaler, in a multimillion-pound deal. Innovative Bites was founded in 2008 by Vishal Madhu, who summed up Bonds as the home of pick'n'mix jars and hanging bags. Managing director Philip Courtenay-Luck stayed on after the sale. A year later the new owners bought pick'n'mix wholesaler Hancocks Cash & Carry in a deal worth about £100m. Somebody over there clearly likes sweets.
The last square problem
Fudge does not get eaten in any sensible order. A square goes with the first cup of tea, two with the second, and then someone is standing at the cupboard at ten at night insisting they are only tidying up. The last piece sits in the bag for days because nobody wants to be the one who finished it. Then it vanishes, and nobody did that either. Some habits travel very well.
