About this deal

Berry, Steve; Norman, Phil (2014). A History of Sweets in 50 Wrappers. London: The Friday Project. pp.16–17. ISBN 9780007575480. The original adverts used Claymation special effects, similar in style to those made famous in the movies of Ray Harryhausen. They also included a voiceover style reminiscent of a 1950s radio serial.

Michaela Brammer ·said: “My husband Derek Brammer worked there for almost 20 years. He worked on double devon toffee. He loved the people there and made some great friends. It was so sad when it closed.” Lisa Sullivan said: “I worked in what was called ‘The Sin Bin’, bagging up loose Chewits all day long, during my summer holidays from college. Tutti frutti are still my favourite today.”Chewits Sports Courses, in partnership with children's coaching organisation Premier Sport, run daily during school holidays and provide sporting activity courses to approximately 125,000 children in the UK. [17] The sponsorship is supported by sporting ambassadors Lawrence Dallaglio, Duncan Goodhew and Paul Sculthorpe. [18] Lifelong friends were made as people worked together - and romance sometimes flourished. "My dad and mum met there. If it wasn’t for that factory I wouldn’t be here!” Jade Tomlinson said: “My dad worked there for years. I remember our cupboards were full of sweets, I don’t like sweets now! Also remember him coming off with a bandaged hand after burning it whilst working!” Stuart Isenberg said: “Southport had quite a lot of manufacturing outlets at the time but, unfortunately, it eventually became more economical for many of the products to be sourced abroad. It was not a case of just Southport, but the UK itself. Sean Connolly said: “My mum worked there when we were small children, as an extra job to buy our Christmas presents.”

In the late 1960s, export trading of Chewits began mainly to Scandinavia and the Middle East and it soon became the brand leader in various countries. Cola then extended the range of flavours even more, Chewits introduced a Sour range and now, there’s a whole variety of flavours. And not just for the Chews, but also for the Juicy Bites, and the Xtreme Range. Lots of other people saw members of their family and friends go to work making Chewits, with the factory playing a big part in their lives.Lots of people have happy memories of their time working there. “I worked in ‘The Sin Bin’, bagging up loose Chewits during my summer holidays"
