Jacksons bakery has given its range of Yorkshire’s Champion bloomers and rolls a new look and name.
Now called Jacksons of Yorkshire, the brand has also been given a makeover removing 25% of the plastic from its packs.
Jacksons marketing manager Deborah Dyson said the revamp was “about modernising the brand” and giving Jacksons “more potential to develop the range into new areas”.
It was “the beginning of a new exciting era for us, with more NPD coming soon,” she said.
The rebranded range rolls out this week, priced at £1.49/880g for the white, brown and white seeded bloomers, £1.69/800g for the brown seeded bloomer, £1.29/400g for half bloomers and £1.29 for a four-pack of rolls.
Jacksons became the first mainstream bread brand to remove palm oil from its entire range of loaves last year, having previously used sustainable palm oil.
It said the move was the result of a year’s work, reformulating the recipe “again and again” until it was happy it had “exactly the same product without the need for palm”.
The range is sold at Waitrose and Ocado nationwide, as well as Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Co-op, Booths and Nisa regionally.
In line with the rest of the bread category, Jacksons sales took a hit last year, down 11.3% to £16.2m, on volumes down 11% [Nielsen 52 w/e 7 September 2019].
