As you can see, British Expats certainly seem to have a sweet tooth with the majority of the Waitrose & Partners exported products being of the sweeter variety (biscuits feature heavily of course). “I think that regardless of where people choose to start a new life, they eventually start to seek out foods they feel an emotional attachment to. And few foods are as nostalgic, evocative and quintessentially British as biscuits.’ says our Communications Manager, Alex.

“Demand for Waitrose & Partners products is particularly high in the United States, our biggest export market, along with France, Germany Australia and the Netherlands.  However, it’s important to remember that while the majority of our customers are expats, a significant number are simply people from other countries who wish to sample authentic British food.”

And the love for Waitrose & Products keeps getting stronger – if you’ve tried their stuff this won’t come as a surprise! Since 2017, we’ve seen a spike in Waitrose & Partners sales for the likes of jelly babies, wine gums, tonic water and Cumberland sausages. Phase one: bring delicious Waitrose & Partners goodies to the masses (check). Phase two: world domination.
