Tangerine Confectionery is a British confectionery company with its headquarters in Blackpool, Lancashire. It has grown, since 2006, through acquisitions into one of the largest independent confectionery companies in Europe and the fourth largest sweet maker in the United Kingdom. ==History== In January 2006, Tom's Confectionery changed its name to Tangerine Confectionery and altered its branding following the purchase of the company by a new management team from Tom's Gruppen of Denmark. The UK arm of Tom's had been created through the acquisition of three traditional confectionery companies, Taveners, Daintee and Parrs, over a ten-year period, between 1992 and 2001.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tangerine Confectionery Ltd – Tangerine Dream ) 〕 Originally the company had been mainly an own-label supplier in England. The company acquired the Taveners, Dainty and Parrs businesses from Toms of Denmark later in January 2006. In April it was voted the best own-label confectionery supplier in the UK by ''The Grocer'' magazine.〔 In August, the company acquired the confectionery arm of Blackpool-based Burton's Foods and so increase turnover of the company to £60m, making it the largest independent confectionery company in the UK. In January 2008, the company purchased Yorkshire based Monkhill Confectionery from Cadbury plc in a £58 million deal, with factories in Cleckheaton, Pontefract and York as well as a distribution centre in Holmewood, North East Derbyshire.〔 The purchase included the Barratts, Sharps of York, Jameson's, Trebor Basset Mints, Butterkist and Pascall lines. Two months later Tangerine claimed there were no plans to close its York factory, despite ordering workers to stay at home in Easter week.〔 Two months later, staff in Blackpool voted in favour of industrial action after turning down a 2.5% pay offer. In April 2009 the company was ranked 23rd in the PricewaterhouseCoopers Profit Track 100, published by ''The Sunday Times'', and was the highest North West entry in the table, which lists the 100 private UK's companies with the fastest growing profits.〔 In August it received a quality Halal Seal of Approval, from the Halal Food Authority, for 150 products within its Barratt, MOJO, Princess and Taveners Proper Sweets ranges〔 In March 2010, the company was found guilty of two counts of breaching Health and Safety laws, following the death of an employee at its Dorset factory. A fine of £300,000 for each count plus costs was imposed. On 5 February 2013 the company was delisted by the Halal Food Authority.〔(Halal Food Authority delisted members page ), 15/04/13〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tangerine Confectionery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
