Easter is an exciting time of the year for many people in the UK. It offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy the start of spring by indulging in hot cross bins and easter eggs. For many families, it also serves at the perfect prompt to gather together for a Sunday roast.
Easter 2022 was busy time, as it was the first Easter we were able to celebrate after several lockdowns. Now that businesses are fully back to normal opening hours, we can expect that Easter 2023 will be just as busy. Therefore, it’s important that food suppliers ensure the right products are where they need to be, when consumers need them.
