FIND THE GOLDEN EASTER EGGS AND WIN! NEW OWNER OF THE CHOCOLATE BOX TO RETAIN BRAND HERITAGE Retaining brand heritage while expanding the popular confectionery business are top priorities under new ownership of The Chocolate Box. Paul Ryan, who took the reins of The Chocolate Box as its new owner and managing director in December 2020, said he is committed to “retaining the heritage of the brand” while fulfilling plans to expand the business nationwide. That history and heritage has been prominent in the Camberwell shopping precinct, as The Chocolate Box’s Camberwell store in Burke Rd has been operating for more than 60 years. With a background in retail across general management, operations, merchandising and strategy, Mr Ryan is perfectly placed to lead The Chocolate Box into the future, for which he has big ambitions. “The immediate focus is updating the retail concept, which is something that hasn’t been done for a decade now, and also investing heavily in the digital spectrum and enhancing the offer online, so it’s a consistent experience that the customer has both in-store and online,” he said. As part of the transition to new business ownership, Mr Ryan has retained all staff members previously employed at The Chocolate Box, which he said was a huge asset. Mr Ryan said it was personally “really important” to continue the legacy of The Chocolate Box brand, and he recalls fond memories of the original store in Burke Rd, Camberwell.
