Chocolate brand Ritter Sport reveals new UK headquarters

Ritter Sport, a family-owned German chocolate brand, has unveiled its new UK headquarters in Leeds.
It says this base “has been years in the making” and highlights the company’s commitment to the UK market following a period of growth.
The headquarters has an open-plan layout and features enhanced facilities for customer meetings, including conference areas, breakout pods, multiple meeting rooms, and a temperature-controlled storage space to house Ritter’s premium chocolates.
The business explains the offices are designed to foster stronger team collaboration and provide state-of-the-art facilities to connect its UK team with their international colleagues and British trade partners.
Ritter Sport UK managing director, Benedict Daniels, said: “Opening this incredible new space is a proud moment for us all.
“It reflects our commitment to the UK market and our ambition to continue growing here.
“With a talented team, exciting product innovations, and the full backing of the Ritter family, I am convinced we will continue our success into 2025 and beyond.”
The business adds that following his appointment as MD in 2014, Daniels spearheaded a growth plan, shifting the company’s business model from distributor to directly managing all sales channels.
It says this pivot has been instrumental in the brand’s expansion, supported by the Ritter family’s continued investment.
