Holdsworth Chocolates

This family-run business manufactures handmade chocolates using the finest ingredients sourced locally and from around the world.

Originally started in Bakewell the company is now based at Deepdale Business Park on the edge of the town. From here the confections are supplied to well known retailers such as Selfridges and John Lewis, as well as local farm shops and delis.

Their delicious chocolates – including truffles, pralines, caramels and creams – are also exported. The company is proud of its hardworking team of  25 employees, recruited locally.

‘We can hire reliable, local staff, that do not have to travel far to work. We also are surrounded by local businesses that creates a large customer base for us’. - Beth Carrington (Sales & Marketing Executive)
