Working With Ochil Fudge
About Ochil Fudge
Founded in 2017 in Alloa, Scotland, Ochil Fudge Ltd was established by Graeme and Helen Clark, who brought over 30 years of experience in the food and drinks industry to the venture.
Their goal was to revive the nostalgic, homemade taste of traditional Scottish fudge and tablet. Inspired by the flavours of their childhood, they began perfecting time-honoured recipes using classic techniques and real ingredients.
As the popularity of their handcrafted sweets grew, the business moved into a commercial kitchen, while proudly retaining its small-batch, artisanal approach.
Today, Ochil Fudge is an award-winning brand known for its commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and community. Every batch is still lovingly made by hand, staying true to the founding values that started it all.
Quality and Authenticity
Ochil Fudge is proudly committed to producing handmade Scottish fudge and tablet using traditional methods that ensure an authentic, nostalgic taste.
Regardless of how the business grows, every batch will always be handmade. Quality is at the core of everything they do—using real ingredients, taking no shortcuts, and maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.
The Heart of the Community
Community is a central pillar of the company.
The entire Ochil Fudge team lives within three miles of the Alloa-based facility, and the business actively supports the wider Scottish food and drink network, championing local producers and celebrating the richness of the national larder.
Impact
Sustainability is also a key focus, with ongoing initiatives to reduce environmental impact through eco-friendly packaging.
As a family-owned business, Ochil Fudge fosters a workplace culture built on care, respect, and empowerment. Team members are encouraged to take pride in their work and contribute to shared success, making it a rewarding and supportive place to grow a career.
Why Join Ochil Fudge
At Ochil Fudge, every stage of production is done by hand, from stirring and beating to pouring and cutting. This rare level of craftsmanship results in a smoother texture and deeper flavour that simply can’t be replicated by machines.
The business is proud to operate the most flexible manufacturing process in its category, often taking on bespoke projects that larger brands won’t consider. This approach allows Ochil Fudge to build genuine, long-term relationships with its customers, not just as a supplier, but as a valued partner.
With over 20 flavours crafted weekly and exclusive branded ranges supplied to some of the UK’s most iconic venues, including Gleneagles, Edinburgh Castle, and Holyrood, the award-winning Ochil Fudge collection continues to grow at pace.
Now on an exciting scaling journey, the company offers new team members the opportunity to shape that growth. With autonomy, empowerment, and a shared focus on artisanal quality, it’s a chance to help build something meaningful. Joining Ochil Fudge means becoming part of an independent, community-driven business that’s committed to doing things the right way.
The Future of Ochil Fudge
The future is full of opportunity at Ochil Fudge. The team is actively expanding its product range, introducing new branded packaging and enhancing its gifting collection to delight customers both online and in-store.
Innovation remains at the heart of the business, with exciting new flavour combinations in development, including vegan options to meet growing demand.
As bespoke collaborations continue to grow, so too does the focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience. With ambitions to bring their handcrafted Scottish fudge to a wider audience across the UK and into North America, Ochil Fudge is aiming for bold growth, including a sixfold increase in revenue.
It’s a journey full of creativity, purpose, and enjoyment, where those who join the team will play an important role in shaping the next chapter while staying true to the artisanal roots that make Ochil Fudge so special.
