Licensed Collaborations

This partnership reflects the ongoing importance of licensed collaborations within the UK biscuit sector. Brands are increasingly utilising entertainment properties alongside limited-edition flavour innovations to drive consumer interest, particularly among family demographics and younger shoppers.

By combining an established brand identity with high-profile film characters, manufacturers can generate incremental interest on supermarket shelves without permanently altering their core product lines.

Formed through the merger of two historic British biscuit manufacturers, Fox’s and Burton’s, FBC is the second-largest branded biscuit manufacturer in the UK. The company operates a network of bakeries across England, Scotland, and Wales, with a baking heritage that extends back to 1853.
