    Design Business Association Design Effectiveness Awards 2009 Packaging: 4.1 Branded Food and Drink Higgidy Pies 12th June 2009 For Publication Executive Summary Driven by a passion for good food Camilla Footit left her job in 2003 as Head of Food for Starbucks and started producing gorgeous handmade pies. Word spread and soon she was supplying bigger players such as EAT cafés and Booths. All sales were own label however, no-one knew they were eating a Higgidy pie. Realising that the pies they were making were snowballing in popularity and earning a glowing reputation for the cafés and restaurants that stocked them, they began to dream of selling them under their own Higgidy brand. The Higgidy team were recommended Ziggurat Brands and we were ultimately briefed to create a brand identity and packaging for Higgidy Pies. The brand essence we developed of ‘The Uncommon Pie’ was a play on words that refl ected the brand truth, that no-one was making pies of this quality. The story of how Camilla’s passion had started the business and how her husband James, an architect, had given up his tree-house building business to join Camilla became the basis for the identity. Camilla’s suggestion that her personality could be summed up as being ‘pink, passionate and posh’ was the icing on the cake. Visual disruption was essential. A copy story runs around the pack featuring light-hearted illustrations of the key players and the ingredients. A window allows the hand-made features of the pie to be seen and a strong and consistent brand colour provides outstanding range blocking on shelf.

In exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act) the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) believes that it is or may be the case that: (a) a relevant merger situation has been created, in that: (i) enterprises carried on by or under the control of Pork Farms Group Limited (formerly named Poppy Acquisition Limited) have ceased to be distinct from the chilled savoury pastry business carried on by or under the control of Kerry Foods Limited; and (ii) the condition specified in section 23(1)(b) of the Act is satisfied; and (b) the creation of that situation has resulted, or may be expected to result, in a substantial lessening of competition within a market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services, including in: (i) the branded, own label and convenience retail segments of the supply of cold pies; (ii) the own label and convenience retail segments of the supply of sausage rolls, pasties and slices (when considered in combination), and the branded, own label and convenience retail segments of the supply of sausage rolls (when considered individually); and (iii) the own label retail segment of the supply of hot pies.
