Have a break, have a…k…doughnut? Wait, that’s not right? Is it…?

Breaking news! Your two favourite tea break treats have joined forces to bring you a new reason to have a break. For a limited time only, Krispy Kreme will be offering consumers the chance to snap up a new KitKat inspired duo of doughnuts, which launch over the bank holiday weekend.

The new range consists of two, smooth chocolatey varieties; a classic milk chocolate flavoured glazed ring and a white chocolate flavoured glazed ring. Both are dusted with crushed KitKat pieces and finished with an iconic KitKat finger.

A group of Nestlé farmers from Spain recently visited the UK for a two-day skill sharing session. The group of 36 was hosted by First Milk farmers who are part of the Nestlé Dalston supply group.

The Spanish farmers visited two UK farms on the first day of their visit where Duncan Maughan of Gateshaw Mill Farm, Category winner in First Milk’s Responsible Farming Awards in 2018, ran a session explaining his advanced knowledge and research in the area of soil health. It covered the benefits that can be brought to biodiversity, levels of carbon and water and improving efficiency through grass quality.

The Nestlé UK & Ireland LGBT+ network was at Brighton Pride this weekend (Saturday 3^rd August) where they joined over 300,000 people at one of the world’s biggest celebrations of LGBT+ life. Brighton Pride marked the 50th year of the Stonewall uprising, the event that ignited the modern day Pride movement, with the theme ‘Generations of Love – Celebrating 50 years of campaigning with Pride’.

Attending for the second year in a row, the LGBT+ network this year rode upon a Nestlé float, while around 80+ Nestlé allies, family and friends joined the walking group.
