Sweet taste of success for Debbie
And the website — www.fudgeathome.co.uk — has already received orders from as far afield as London and Glasgow.
Debbie left her job as a purchasing manager with an automotive company to launch the venture four years ago and has since been renting a unit at Hatton Shopping Village where she makes the fudge on site.
She said: “The picturesque location and Hatton Adventure World right next door means that it attracts visitors from all over the country, including regular coach parties that are often not from the area.
“I was always being asked if I offer an online service to enable my customers to replenish their depleted stocks.
“I had been asked by so many visitors whether I could send them chocolate and fudge that I decided it was an interesting expansion strategy to look into.”
