Lindt & Sprungli UK

We’re thrilled to announce that Joel Burrows is returning to lead our UK and Ireland team as CEO. After seven successful years as CEO of our Ghirardelli Chocolate Company in the San Francisco Bay area, Joel is back, bringing with him his incredible energy, charisma, and desire to lead with a sense of possibility. Known for delivering outstanding results while motivating everyone around him, Joel is a unique and special leader. We at Lindt & Sprungli UK are excited to start this new chapter with him. Welcome back, Joel!

With mixed emotions, we say farewell to Konstantin Eckes, our Lindt & Sprungli UK & Ireland CEO, as he leaves us to take the helm at our Lindt & Sprungli Switzerland subsidiary. Over the past five years, Konstantin’s leadership, generosity, and unwavering commitment to our values have left a positive impact on our team. It’s rare to encounter a leader who combines professionalism with genuine warmth; his approachability and empathy have made him a cherished part of our work family, and we will miss him. Thank you, Konstantin, for everything you’ve brought to Lindt UK&I. We know you’ll stay in touch, and we look forward to hearing all about your new Swiss adventure. #passionatelylindt #makeanimpact #leadership #chocolate

🎉 Our Lindt UK Thrive Together Summer Conference was a blast! Incredible immersive experiences allowed us to truly feel the potential of our brands and our ambition. We had the privilege of welcoming Pippa Grange, who talked with us about how we can fear less to fulfil our potential, and in our Thriving As Me workshop, we explored the self-imposed boundaries we often put in our own way and how to shift them to reach our truest potential. Meditation, axe throwing and woodland walks all allowed for meaningful moments of connection and a lot of laughs! Our PowerPoint-free event allowed space for thought-provoking sessions and opportunities to really connect with each other, all topped off with a night of dancing with Charlie Hedges and Gok Wan, making it a truly unforgettable experience. Huge thanks to all the team at Lindt & Sprungli UK who worked so hard on the event and to our partners, PL1 Events Ltd, Andrew Parish, The Celtic Collection and Qwerty Ltd for helping us bring it all to life.

Moments of Movement & Learning Power at Lindt UK & IRE   We were blown away by the passion shown during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2024 and #LearningAtWorkWeek2024. Thanks to everyone who got involved in the 5km run/walk, the puzzle at Head Office, walk & talks, and the #MomentsofMovement photo challenge, which helped us raise £250 for the #mentalhealthfoundation.   Throughout the week, we also hosted some Learning Labs to inspire everyone to move their minds and embrace their #LearningPower. We were joined by the wonderful @TomLynch (our brand-new Category & Commercial Strategy Director), who shared his Growth Mindset approach to development and key learnings from his personal development journey. We also welcomed @HayleyWatts from Think Productive, who taught us "The Way of the Productivity Ninja".   The week was a huge success, and we wanted to thank everyone who got involved!

We had a great day supporting #GroceryAidDay2024; it was a fantastic opportunity to get together and raise awareness of this amazing charity and all it does for the grocery industry.  This year’s theme was #WeHelpYou, which highlights how #GroceryAid makes our lives a little easier with their FREE & CONFIDENTIAL support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, either through their Helpline or website. For us at Lindt & Sprungli UK, it was a great excuse to get together, dress in the GroceryAid rainbow colours, and remind our teams that they have this incredible support at their fingertips. Well done to Katie Chan and the rest of the team for organising this brilliant awareness campaign. #makeanimpact #passionatelylindt #chocolate #workplace #connection #charity #groceryaid #grocery
