The food of love: Sweet Tree by Browns wins at Food & Drinks Heroes awards

Sweet Tree by Browns

Sweet Tree by Browns is a small but ever-growing confectionery business based in Watford, specialising in handmade and personalised chocolates.

The family-run business offers something for all tastes and has worked hard with clients to provide the perfect gifts, especially through Covid-19. The world was hit hard in 2020 by the pandemic, but business was extremely busy for many online companies, including Sweet Tree by Browns.

Following the company’s success throughout 2020, the team applied for the Food & Drinks Heroes awards earlier in 2021. The company’s operations manager Polly Williams says, “To our humbling astonishment, our director Christina was awarded runner up for Confectionery Entrepreneur of the year! We’re thrilled, particularly as we were up against some fantastic brands within the field.”
