Keeping Scotland Sweet

The client

Lees of Scotland, founded in Coatbridge in 1931, is known across Scotland for its iconic Snowballs and Teacakes.

The brief

Known for much-loved treats including Snowballs, Jam Teacakes and Meringues, the business was acquired by Finsbury Food Group in 2023.

GRA has worked with Lees of Scotland for over a decade, supporting a wide range of marketing activity. Throughout this long-term partnership, the objective has remained consistent: to build and maintain awareness of the Lees’ brand among consumers across Scotland.
