“We believe everyone deserves a moment of indulgence,” says Justine, marketing manager of Langtons Deserts, a Suffolk-based family-run business specialising in handcrafted desserts made from treasured family recipes. “Bringing our desserts to more people has been a joyful journey, but like any small business, we’ve faced our share of challenges along the way.”
It was during those pivotal growth stages that the Suffolk team at the New Anglia Growth Hub stepped in, offering tailored, expert support that helped Langtons Deserts navigate expansion with confidence. Justine credits the Growth Hub with delivering the focused advice and practical tools needed to support their continual growth in a competitive food and drink market.
Key areas where the Growth Hub’s expertise made a difference include:
Marketing and Digital Support:
With the business ready to expand its customer base, the Growth Hub provided targeted one-to-one marketing support. This included refining Langtons’ brand messaging, enhancing their online presence, and developing digital strategies that helped attract new audiences and build a loyal following. Advice on content planning, SEO, and social media positioning proved vital in boosting visibility across Suffolk and beyond.
Business Planning and Strategy:
The team helped Justine clarify the company’s short- and long-term objectives, offering strategic planning advice that aligned with the business’s values and ambitions. This support ensured Langtons Deserts had a clear roadmap to scale sustainably while staying true to its roots.
