  • Making Yorkshire Tea Proper Successful
    Making Yorkshire Tea Proper Successful Marketing Society Excellence Awards Category - Marketing Communications Summary The standard black tea market is a tough place to create switching and growth. It’s in decline, it’s led by two brands that go back generations (PG Tips and Tetley) and it’s one oF the most habitual, low-interest FMCG categories there is. Nonetheless, growth was exactly what we needed to create For Yorkshire Tea. The brand was a cult Favourite and occupied the third position in the market, but wasn’t content to remain there. That meant we needed to look beyond Yorkshire’s current Fans to the ‘Sleep shopping’ buyers oF PG and Tetley, cutting through their apathy and waking them up to Yorkshire Tea’s merits. So we created a new campaign based on the idea that Yorkshire Tea is a place ‘Where everything’s done proper’, and proved it by hiring some oF Yorkshire’s most talented celebrities to perForm jobs around the Factory. The Brownlee Brothers became Yorkshire Tea’s new couriers, the Kaiser ChieFs perFormed their hold music live in reception and Sir Michael Parkinson was brought on board to interview new recruits. This idea cut through to PG and Tetley buyers and radically changed their perceptions oF the Yorkshire Tea brand. Yorkshire Tea immediately began to grow and quickly overtook Tetley to take the number two spot in the market, setting its sights on the leader PG Tips. Thanks to the ‘Where Everything’s Done Proper’ campaign Yorkshire Tea was transFormed From a cult Favourite into a national treasure and perFormed the near impossible Feat oF changing shoppers’ tea-buying habits oF a liFetime.

  • Yorkshire Tea Wheelchair Appeal
    Yorkshire Tea Wheelchair Appeal Yorkshire Tea joined forces with the Rotary back in 2005 to help support the Wheelchair Foundation, launching our own Yorkshire Tea Wheelchair Appeal. So far Rotarians have exchanged Yorkshire Tea tokens for 8 wheelchairs, but we know you can help us buy more! You may have noticed the tokens you are familiar with have disappeared off our packs and have been replaced with our new tree tokens, so now we’re asking you to collect barcodes instead. Barcodes Buy Wheelchairs! Our barcodes are worth credits, depending on the pack size which you buy. 80 tea bags = 1 credit 160 tea bags = 2 credits 240 tea bags = 3 credits For every 10 credits returned we’ll donate £1 to the Wheelchair Foundation. Every £75 that we donate buys and delivers one new wheelchair, so, with 56,000 Rotarians in RIBI, and only 750 credits required to buy and deliver one chair, we’re expecting an enormous response! Bonolo was the first African child Children gratefully receiving wheelchairs to receive a wheelchair donated in Geita, Northern Tanzania. from Yorkshire Rotarians. 80 Tea Bag Barcodes = 1 CREDIT Yorkshire Tea 80s 5010357112061, Yorkshire Hard Water 80s 5010357112054 Yorkshire Gold 80s 5010357112108, Yorkshire Decaf 80s 615357118775 Attach 80s Attach 80s Attach 80s Attach 80s Attach 80s barcode barcode barcode barcode barcode here here here here here Attach 80s Attach 80s Attach 80s Attach 80s Attach 80s barcode barcode barcode barcode barcode here here here here here Attach 80s Attach 80s Attach 80s Attach 80s Attach 80s barcode

  • Business Accountability for Human Rights Violations in the Assam Tea
    A Bitter Brew: Business Accountability for Human Rights Violations in the Assam Tea Supply Chain Madhura Rao Researcher Madhura Rao MSc Food Safety, Wageningen University Registration number: 950316680040 Supervisor & Examiner A Dr. Nadia Bernaz Law and Governance Group, Wageningen University Examiner B Dr. Kai Purnhagen Law and Governance Group, Wageningen University Image on the cover page retrieved from www.reuters.com I AKNOWLEDGEMENT First and foremost, I would like to thank my MSc thesis supervisor, Dr. Nadia Bernaz, for her valuable feedback, support, and immense patience with my initial lack of familiarity with the topic of business and human rights. I would like to express my gratitude towards Green Office, Wageningen and Studium Generale, Wageningen for giving me the opportunity to work with them on the lecture series on Modern Slavery and practically apply the knowledge I gained during my thesis. I would also like to acknowledge the support of all my colleagues from the Law & Governance group of Wageningen University and thank them for their insights and encouragement throughout my research. Lastly, I would like to thank my family, without whose moral and financial support, I would not have had the opportunity to be a part of the Wageningen UR family and pursue this research. II ABSTRACT Assam tea is globally celebrated for it brisk, malty flavour. It is an irreplaceable ingredient in several breakfast tea blends around the world and provides much impetus to the Indian economy. Images of cheerful, saree-clad women picking leaves in the lush Assamese tea gardens are often the face of packaged Assam tea.
