The famous McVitie’s Club brand is moving into confectionery for the first time with new McVitie’s Club Layers Orange.

Club Layers Orange is perfect for on-the-go snacking

McVitie’s Club Layers Orange – a generously coated thick milk chocolate bar with a delicious orange flavoured cream filling and multiple layers of crisp wafer – is perfect for on-the-go snacking, lunch breaks or as an indulgent treat.

The iconic McVitie’s Club is a £32m* brand and, by taking the biscuit brand into a new category, confectionery, we can recruit new and younger consumers.”

Olivia Haley, Brand Manager, pladis UK&I

Olivia continues:

“We know that On-The-Go confectionery overtrades among younger consumers, and we also know that Orange is our #1 best performing McVitie’s Club flavour."

“There is currently no Chocolate & Orange single serve wafer bar in market, so we’ll be driving differentiation with the launch of McVitie’s Club Layers Orange, as well as bringing category value by launching such a famous and much-loved name into the confectionery category for the first time.”

Availability and Merchandising Recommendation

McVitie’s Club Layers Orange will be rolling out across wholesale depots from 21 July, available in a 24x39.5g CDU in £0.79 price marked packs.
