Staeger have entered the Marks and Spencer Split Egg and the Marks and Spencer Designer Collection in the Luxury & the UK Packaging Awards this year. Both products and applications have been endorsed by both Alex Emmerson White (Product Developer) and Laura Fernandez (Packaging Manager) of Marks & Spencer. We have high hopes!

Laura’s testimonial for the Split Egg read

Four years of pure tenacity not willing to accept defeat paid off! The beautiful split egg was delivered this Easter to its full splendour thanks to the persistency and dedication of the team. Battling against physics and huge amounts of lateral thinking enabled us to create the optimum solution that would showcase and deliver this fantastic chocolate piece safely to our stores for the enjoyment of our customers. A true team effort!

Alex’s testimonial for the Split Egg read

As a product developer at Marks & Spencer, responsible for all things chocolate. Easter was definitely one of my favourite seasons as it allows for such experimentation with shapes & sculptures. The split egg was by far one of the most challenging concepts I wanted to launch - echoed by the fact it took four years! Staeger were the foundations of allowing this to happen. It was amazing to work with a company that held the same consistent passion for the product, over such a long time and many challenges. They never hesitated to offer new solutions - always thinking outside the box - quite literally! Whilst always embracing suggestions from outside too. It was an absolute pleasure to work on this product, along with many other products in the Easter range, they worked fully as one team across supply base, packaging and retailer. 

Laura’s testimonial for the Designer collection read

Seven packaging suppliers, three chocolate sculptures and not much time… probably one of the most complex projects I have been involved successfully delivered through true team work and huge amount of persistency. All stakeholders worked as ONE to ensure the brief was accurately met, thinking outside the box and going the extra mile to make things happen. A really proud moment for all involved when the products reached stores safely showcasing the beautiful chocolate plate, shoe ad handbag at their maximum to delight our customers.

Staeger are very proud to have been associated with both these projects and thank Marks and Spencer for their ongoing support, we will look forward eagerly to both awards evenings.
