Hancocks depot

Confectionery wholesaler Hancocks has revealed the return of its seasonal in-store trade events, set to take place this autumn across all 14 nationwide depots.

Designed to support and celebrate independent retailers, the events offer a huge range of limited-time offers, product samples, and insider insights to help businesses stock up ahead of the key trading periods.

The first event, on 9 October, is an in-store Christmas Trade Showcase, with early access to deals on Christmas lines, and exclusive discounts only available in-store on the day.

On 6 November, Sweetest Day returns with big savings across iconic lines in-store and online. The final event of the season takes place on Thursday 27 November and is themed around Black Friday. Hancocks will roll out its deepest discounts of the year across hundreds of lines, including seasonal confectionery, bestsellers, drinks, and impulse buys.

Head of marketing at Hancocks, Kathryn Hague, said: “Our trade events are a big hit with customers who are able to take advantage of some incredible deals, sample exciting new products and speak directly to brand representatives. We’re thrilled to be running these three seasonal events and offering customers even more opportunities for amazing savings across our most popular lines. It’s not just about stocking up – it’s about giving our customers a brilliant shopping experience and helping them maximise sales during the busiest retail period of the year.

“From discovering new product launches to picking up merchandising tips and speaking with our knowledgeable team, we’re proud to support independent retailers with more than just great prices. These events are all about celebrating our customers and giving them the tools to succeed. The deals are genuinely too good to miss.”
