THE SWEET LIFE
After a very long time of pernickety sweet development - though we’re not complaining - we were very excited to launch our gourmet gummy candy in February of this year. We’re even more excited - though not too surprised with the response that the sweets have received! Whether Sour Watermelon is your thing or if you never go anywhere
without Apple & Elderflower we thank you for making the launch a great one. Our beautiful bags of candy are made with real fruit juice and use natural colours and flavourings whilst also being gluten free, so if you haven’t yet tried a bag we’re not too sure what you’re waiting for..?

INTRODUCING THE CANDYVAN
Our pride and joy, the CandyVan, started out life in 1978 as an ice cream van. However our little beast has now traded in the italian soft serve ice cream for gluten free gummies! Painted in our
signature colours our Van is complete with DJ decks, large speakers - ready to kick start any party - neon lights and a TV screen in the side, all helping to make it pretty impossible to miss.
You can find the CandyVan popping up at shopping centres, festivals, shows and other events across the country. Use #CandyVan to track the whereabouts of our sweet ride!

THE CANDY CREW
You may well know our fun loving founder Jamie, but you may not know about the boys behind the scenes! We chatted to them to find out what they do and a bit more about them: Ed: As Managing Director I look after the whole team to make sure that we’re all pushing the brand in the right direction. I work on creating products and developing the business but most importantly keep Jamie in check!
ED’S LISTENING TO Mark Ronson Ft. Bruno Mars Uptown Funk. “Bruno Mars has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.”
My favourite part of working at Candy Kittens is being able to create something that is truly ours as well as the luxury of calling our own shots! Jesse: I head up all the Marketing and Sales at Candy Kittens, developing brand marketing strategy and doing the deals with all of our retailers. I get very excited about food branding - Sad, I know! - and I love the fact that what was just our initial idea is now sitting
JAMIE’S LISTENING TO Bob Marley Is This Love. “A question I’m forever asking myself..”
on the shop shelves across the world! Jamie: Founding Candy Kittens was probably one of my best choices ever! I wouldn’t have believed you if, when I was at Uni, you told me that in a few years I’d be able to buy Candy Kittens from some of the UK’s leading retailers but it is truly thrilling. We work very well as a team and we’re all in it together - I’m very excited for what the future holds for Candy Kittens.
JESSE’S LISTENING TO ZHU - Paradise Awaits (FKJ Remix). “If you haven’t heard of FKJ, you will very soon.”

FINDING THE PERFECT MODELS At Candy Kittens we love our photoshoots, but finding the right models for the shoot isn’t always as easy as you may think! We’ve teamed up with the very prestigious Storm Models to find the next face of Candy Kittens... Could it be you? Storm are agents to some of the world’s most prolific models including Cara Delevingne, Kate Moss and Jordan Dunn so we couldn’t ask for a team more qualified to help us in finding our new faces!

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A SCOUT We caught up with Storm’s New Faces Agents - Amma Amihyia, Chelsea Price and Nathan Toth - to find out exactly what it takes to be a model scout, and how you might impress them. How did you start in the modeling business? AA: My career began when I did work experience at 16 for a model agency. CP: I started at Storm 5 years ago after doing work experience when I was 17. I was a freelance scout for them before starting full time on New Faces. NT: I studied Fashion Journalism at the London College of Fashion. Whilst I was studying I interned at various fashion magazines, as well as working as a freelance styling assistant for different publications. Through this I got to know lots of stylists and photographers, as well as the teams at the magazines, which is really important as an editorial agent. What is your role at Storm? AA: Senior New Faces Agent CP: New Faces Agenct and Model Scout. NT: Editorial Agent for New Faces What is it that you’re looking for when scouting for models? AA: Unique Beauty with a blossoming and natural edge. CP: Of course height, look and bone structure are important but personality is just as vital! NT: Someone out of the ordinary. Some of the best models aren’t necessarily conventionally ‘attractive’, but they possess a really individual and other-worldly kind of beauty.

What’s the typical day like for a scout? AA: It has highs and lows! You never know who you will find. CP: There is no such thing as a typical day… you can spend hours scouting and find no one and then be out buying milk and find a superstar. NT: It’s not as glamourous as it may sound – it usually involves a lot of standing around, often in the rain! But when you find someone with real potential it makes it all worth it. If you could give a new model one piece of advice what would it be? AA: Believe in yourself as most of the girls we scout never think they can be models and think we’ve made a mistake! CP: Smile and be nice to everyone. NT: Never compare yourself to anyone else. Where is the strangest place you have scouted a new model? AA: At Sunday Mass! CP: Meat section in Tesco! What is it like working at Storm? AA: It’s fantastic working at Storm as we work in the hub of it all. It all starts with New Faces so we are making dreams happen! CP: Everyday is crazy but no two days are the same.
Who is your favorite model right now? AA: Anna Ewers and our New Face Georgia Chambers CP: Valery Kaufman, she’s a goddess!!! NT: Jourdan Dunn is an absolute megababe. And Ella Richards is definitely one to watch. Who is your favorite person you have ever scouted? AA: Too many to mention but love all my girls as they are like my kids. CP: I couldn’t have a favorite, they are all so different but so beautiful. NT: We adore them all.
