Andy was born in London just in time to see England win the World Cup, and much later began his career in academia, gaining a PhD in American Literature and lecturing at several universities, including Maryland and Gothenburg in Sweden, and pursuing a sideline in sheep-farming before moving back to London and becoming a literary agent and TV documentary-maker (working for various broadcasters and making series such as the BBC’s Monsoon Railway, set in Bengal). He has written several biographies, including the Second World War story American Pimpernel, and became the official biographer of India’s Prime Minister (then Chief Minister of Gujarat) publishing Narendra Modi, a Political Biography (Harper Collins). Andy joined Asian Media Group in 2018, his first “proper” job, and has been there ever since, believing that, while trade journalism might not save the world, it might just save journalism.

  • Plenish’s new Dark Cocoa and Sea Salt Almond Drink is made only with naturally sourced ingredients, including almond, cacao, sea salt and brown sugar
  • The cocoa beans have been sourced via Tony's Open Chain in line with Plenish’s commitment to transparency
  • The new launch has 30% less sugar (only 3.2g of sugar per 100ml) compared to most UK chocolate flavoured plant-based drinks

Dairy alternatives brand Plenish, from Carlsberg Britvic, is expanding into flavoured m*lks with the launch of its new Dark Cocoa and Sea Salt Almond Drink.

The launch responds to the growing flavoured m*lk market which is now worth £19.2m, and is growing +12 per cent year-on-year ahead of the unflavoured market. As sugar content has become a leading health concern for consumers, with 23 per cent looking to reduce sugar from their diets, Plenish’s Dark Cocoa and Sea Salt Almond Drink looks to cater to this demand with 30 per cent less sugar compared to most UK chocolate flavour plant-based drinks. The lower sugar content makes it perfect for consumers looking for more ways to enjoy flavoured m*lks while avoiding additives, oils, and artificial ingredients.

In line with Plenish’s commitment to ingredient transparency, the brand has partnered with Tony’s Open Chain, whose farmer-first approach to cocoa sourcing prioritises human rights and environmental protection.

“We know today’s consumers are increasingly looking for ways to enjoy their favourite treats while also maintaining their health goals,” said Russell Goldman, Managing Director of Breakthrough Brands. “That’s why we wanted to take our first step into flavoured m*lks and create a product that on great taste whilst staying true to our minimal ingredient promise. We’re proud to partner with Tony’s Open Chain to offer consumers something genuinely delicious that’s also thoughtfully made.”

Kitty Pandya, Partnerships Manager at Tony's Open Chain said about the launch: “What excites us most about Plenish joining Tony's Open Chain is what it means for cocoa farmers in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. No single company can fix the broken cocoa system alone, and that's exactly why Tony's Open Chain exists. The more companies that commit to traceability and higher prices for farmers, the louder the message becomes: change is not just possible, it's already happening.”

RRP from £2.50.
