Built across three generations, with my gran, my parents and me all playing a part in the Saffire Chocolates story.

Three generations of chocolate making

Our story

Saffire Chocolates was founded in 2005 by my gran, Angela, after she completed an online chocolate-making diploma and spent six months in Belgium. I joined the family business at 14, took over in 2023 and opened our dedicated production unit in Hingham in January 2026.
