IT is a tale of two factories. Former Terry's boss Ian Johnston claimed yesterday that parent group Kraft had decimated the range made by the York factory. Finally it was in a "vulnerable, virtually one product situation - Chocolate Orange".
We all know what happened next.
Over at Nestl Rowntree, bosses were launching the latest version of the flagship brand. They are confident the Low Carb KitKat, along with similar sugarless Rolos, will put Rowntree's back on top of the confectionery league.
It is a bold step - and a gamble. But new boss, combative Kiwi Chris White, was brought in to revitalise the Rowntree portfolio. As every Terry's worker knows to their cost, businesses must innovate to survive.
