MADE BY US
We make all our products on site in a little factory located in Wigston, Leicester, UK. This gives us a lot of creative opportunity and shorter leads times for new products thereby enabling us to create our infamous Flavour of the Month bars. It also allows us to easily maintain the high quality our products and conduct strict quality control procedures to ensure our customers receive only the tastiest and most indulgent bars.

Kajal is our factory manager and she, along with a team of friends and family, help to produce your delicious bars.
We can't give our exact production process away, as it's a closely guarded secret. But it goes a little something like this:
Smushing
Shaping
Enrobing
Cooling
Packing
HOW IT'S MADE
We can't give our exact production process away, as it's a closely guarded secret. But it goes a little something like this:
Founder/ Deputy Joke Manager
As the founder of Vive, I have the pleasure/ curse of overseeing everything going on at Vive, which can definitely be overwhelming at times with so much going on.
My role usually is split between looking across all the channels (sales/ marketing/ operations) and speaking with the team to identify and implement efficiencies and formulate strategies and new ideas for us to grow and reach more people.
At the moment a lot of my time is being consumed by overseeing the move to the new factory, which is tricky as it's a distraction from the day to day running of things.
About Me
I was born and raised in Scotland & have always been passionate about businesses and brands. I'm also a MASSIVE chocaholic so the combination of those means my running Vive is an absolute dream for me.
Outside of work, I not only think about work but also read books & listen to podcasts about brand building. Thankfully, I have wonderful family and friends who manage to pull me away for a bit of playtime.
Recently, I've been spending a lot of my time trying to get back to playing sport after a bad knee injury (ACL tear) that doesn't want to heal. Hopefully this summer I'll be back at it, otherwise i'll have to stick to my afternoon workouts with Becky.
M'EAT VIVE'
As you can see, there's a lot of work that goes into producing your delicious bars and we will continue to improve this and become more efficient as we progress to our goal of world domination. No not really, but we are certainly focusing on improving our sustainability as a business and hope that other business will follow suit.
