The Monty Bojangles Story

By Andrew Newlands, Founder and MD.

I went into business for myself when I had just turned 18, a design business was my first enterprise! I was as dedicated as anyone in love with their work, and soon became a specialist in the glorious world of chocolate and confectionery creation and design! I worked with some wonderful brands and people, while becoming hopelessly smitten with the intimate world of chocolate.

The greatest pleasure of them all however was to see my creations on retail shelves; utterly delightful!

While it was always satisfying to be helping other companies, brands and friends with their businesses, I longed to create a brand of my own…

The Chocolate

2008 was the year when the team and I set to the task of creating our own brand! We started with the most important part: the chocolate. Only the finest, most delicious and 100% natural ingredients were to be used. Furthermore the flavour and the chocolatey experience was to be a quality not to be compromised.

Simply put, I wanted our chocolates to be in a world of their own! Completely and utterly delicious. As well as being light and delicate, they were to be bold and flavoursome, without becoming so rich that a single truffle would be enough!

I feel I need to labour this point. ‘Yummy’ alone simply wasn’t good enough. The chocolate needed to be surprisingly, bamboozingly, ambushing-ly divine.

After much tireless investigation and time in the kitchens the heavenly Monty Bojangles truffle range was created! A perfect eat that melts beautifully in the mouth while releasing mellow melting chocolatey richness, bursts of fruitiness, or warm buttery caramelly taste adventures!

Creating our World

As for design, we were keen to make sure that everyone understood how important feeling delighted when experiencing and indulging in our truffles really is to us.

We didn’t want our range to look serious and unapproachable, rather fantastical enchantment was the aim!

We decided to create an entire world that we could explore with our artwork. The world was to be full of wondrous creatures, vivid colour, vibrant fun, adventure and escapism! All that was left was to find someone to travel within it…

Introducing Monty

We had our truffles, our flavour range, our design… but what for a name?

Be it insightful or an act of lunacy, I decided to name the brand after my wonderful cat Monty Bojangles, a very dear companion of mine.

Monty was a loyal companion through the long days and longer nights of my entire career.

His charm, his personality and indeed his embarrassed ridiculousness always brought joy. Making him a central character to our designs, the adventurer in our world, and a mascot for our brand seemed the perfect fit, as well as a wonderful way to share my smiles with others!

Award Winning

Monty Bojangles brand has won 7 design awards including 2 DBA’s and a Red Dot award. We were a finalist for The Amazon Growing Business Awards: ECI Consumer Business of the Year, and have ranked 17th in Sunday Times Lloyds SME Export Track 100 League table. We were Britain’s fastest-growing FMCG SME Exporter!

We have won a total of 38 Great Taste Awards – the Oscars of the food world! We have been voted a ‘Best Brand’ in Guild of Fine Food’s Fine Food Digest 5 years running, and have won the highly prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade!
