He also added that they expect a significant sales uplift from a highly competitive price point, which still provides a healthy margin to the company. The event he mentioned was held to unveil the Premium Malt beverage, a detailed brief of the next level campaign, plans and expectations of the company in the coming years.
He also noted that Grace Foods UK is passionate about food, and no one knows more about Caribbean food and drink in the UK than them.
