Being a family run business we take immense pride in the qualities of our work colleagues and have been lucky over the years to have had some fabulous people working with us. We have recently welcomed a new, full time delivery driver, David Thompson, to our expanding team of five HGV’s. Joining us with over 12 years’ experience in HGV driving, David will spend the next few months in training, learning the routes, meeting customers and developing an understanding of our product ranges. Already proving he has an excellent work ethic, we are confident that David will have a bright future with WH. Be sure to give him a warm welcome when you meet him. After completing a twelve week probation period our new relief delivery driver, Tom Elmy, has also joined the WH family. Proving himself to be a great asset to the delivery team Tom fits in well with everyone and nothing is too much trouble for him.As we mentioned in our previous newsletter, our Sales Director, Gerry, will be retiring from the WH family at the end of the year and, in the New Year, Paul Howden will inherit Gerry’s customers. Over the coming weeks Paul will be introduced to his new customers and, although Gerry will be a hard act to follow, he is keen to ensure that the excellent relationships Gerry has forged with everyone will be maintained. We are confident that the exceptional service levels that customers have enjoyed over the last five years will be continued by Paul.Thank you to those of you who follow us on social media, we hope that you are enjoying receiving our regular updates and, of course, the chance to enter our online competitions. We recently gave away a prize of a hamper of chocolate goodies, courtesy of Callebaut, to Jane Willis, who responded on Twitter to guess the number of Salted Caramel Gold Callets in a 2.5kg pack. Being only 10 Callets out from the correct amount of 4962, congratulations go to Jane as well as to the lucky person who had to count the Callets!

However, a busy festive period also provides the ideal opportunity to offer interesting and seasonal, new products to your customers.To get everyone in the festive spirit our first new offering is the Wrights’ Large Hand Raised Pork Pie. Great to display on the counter or to bake to order, there is nothing like a traditional pork pie at Christmas and Wrights offer quality you know you can trust.We are pleased to add a Christmas Sandwich Filling to our range of fresh fillings. Packed with turkey breast, sausage, bacon, cranberry and stuffing in mayonnaise, this is sure to add a festive feel to any sandwich menu.If you fancy something different, why not try one of our Horseshoe Gammons; roast in house and offer hot sandwiches or allow customers to order them to roast at home. Last but not least we are delighted to introduce Baker’s Friend, a multi-purpose ingredient designed to replace butter, margarine and vegetable fat across a wide range of applications. Baker’s Friend is indistinguishable from butter in end products and can be used in cakes, pastries, biscuits and many other baked goods; and, when used in place of butter, Baker’s Friend should also provide a noticeable cost saving.If there is ever a product that you need but we don’t currently stock please feel free to contact myself or your customer service representative to discuss your requirements.DanNew ProductsMarket ReportSugarThe hot, dry summer has reduced sugar yield and as a result we will see a 10-15% decrease in sugar grown during the 2018-19 campaign. With Brexit looming we could see decreased exports from EU refiners. We will likely see price rises in 2019 as demand will potentially outstrip supply.Currants After last year’s record high prices, we were expecting decreases. However, with exporters saying they are struggling to bring in enough crop to meet demand, it appears this year that prices will remain high and probably exceed last year’s high prices.Almonds The new almond crop was good, allowing prices to decrease slightly. This should allow prices to remain low until the New Year. Liquid EggWith demand for liquid egg increasing towards the year end, we expect to see prices increasing until the end of December. As usual we expect prices to reduce in the New Year as demand drops off. FatsWith palm stores being very full, production increasing and high competition in the oil market, prices are currently low on palm oil. While raw ingredient prices look to remain low for the near future, currency changes will be the major driver of price changes in palm-based fats.Poppy SeedsDue to decreased rainfall in the Czech Republic, crop was vastly diminished. With the peak demand at this time of year, prices have increased drastically. There will be some easing as demand drops but expect prices to remain high for the foreseeable future.SultanasThe end of the year always brings increased demand for sultanas and, as always, we are seeing prices start to rise. As demand eases in 2019 we should see prices start to fall again.PecansIn the aftermath of Hurricane Michael, reports are saying that significant damage has been wreaked on the pecan crop. While it is too soon for exact figures to be given, most traders have taken stocks off the market until they know the extent of the damage. Expect increased prices when markets reopen.4Available in round and square!Highest quality | Turned edge cards | Double thicknessPRODUCT CODE PACK SIZE PRICE8” Double Thickness Christmas Card XMA-CDR08 (round) / XMA-CDS08 (square) 10 £4.679” Double Thickness Christmas Card XMA-CDR09 (round) / XMA-CDS09 (square) 10 £5.0010” Double Thickness Christmas Card XMA-CDR10 (round) / XMA-CDS10 (square) 10 £6.3312” Double Thickness Christmas Card XMA-CDR12 (round) / XMA-CDS12 (square) 10 £8.17ChristmaSCake CardSChristmaSCake CardS*Short lead times may apply5Order Line: 01977 682 333www.walkerhumphreyltd.co.ukIntroducing our new Renshaw Ready To Roll Colours, and the NEW Renshaw Colour of the Year 2019 Cassis.Cool GreySaphire BlueDark BrownCassisLVE TO ICENEW!PRODUCT CODE PACK SIZE PRICECool Grey Renshaw Pro REG-CGR01 12x250g £11.09Sapphire Blue Renshaw Pro REG-SAB01 12x250g £11.09Dark Brown Renshaw Pro REG-DBR01 12x250g £11.09Cassis Renshaw Pro REG-CAS01 12x250g £11.09Short lead times may apply6TRADITIONAL MINCEMEAT FOR 60 YEARSJohn Morley TRADITIONAL MINCEMEAT 12.5KG PAILCODE: MEA-MIN03ONLY £20.75 EACH - Only while stocks lastt. 01260 299911 e. sales@johnmorley.co.uk www.johnmorley.co.uk7Order Line: 01977 682 333www.walkerhumphreyltd.co.ukit wouldn’t be christmas without it£3.25MEA-GAM01per kg5.25kg c/wLEAD TIMES APPLY PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER SERVICES ON 01977 6823338new to the marketDREAMING OF AWHITE CHRISTMASfor more inspiring recipe ideas visit macphie.comMacphie Ltd, Glenbervie, Stonehaven, AB39 3YG, Scotland0800 085 9800MacphieUKMACPHIE IS DELIGHTED TO LAUNCH A NEW, READY TO USE MALLOW, PROVIDING A PERFECTLY FLUFFY FILLING OR FINISHING TO A RANGE OF PRODUCTS THIS CHRISTMASMacphie Mallow provides the perfect addition to create festive smores doughnuts, Christmas snowballs, holly decorated teacakes, Christmas pudding cupcake fillings, Rudolph mallow muffins, baked meringue and much more• Easy to Use: Ready to use, no other additions required.
