Lees of Scotland

Sweet treats that you can taste the heritage from – it’s got to be Lees.

The story of Lees of Scotland begins with a moment of chance. In 1931 a young John Justice Lees, experimenting with ingredients in his father’s store, stumbled on a recipe that would change the course of the company forever: the macaroon bar. This accidental invention set the stage for a legacy of innovation and delicious treats.

Fast forward almost a century, Lees remained committed to quality and innovation. The company has invested in state-of-the-art facilities, embraced new technologies, and continually sought to improve its products and processes. This dedication to excellence ensured Lees was a perfect fit for the Finsbury family.

Now, we’re proud to be a part of Lees ongoing history by introducing them into the foodservice sector for our wholesalers and end users to enjoy.

Why Foodservice Just Got Sweeter

As your partners in foodservice success, we know what people want to see on your menus. Lees sweet range, including meringues, snowballs and teacakes, are all fan favourites, and the data proves it. Almost 50% of consumers gravitated to meringue-based dishes in UK pubs alone last year – and no one does meringue like Lees.

Coffee shops are also seeing an uptake in meringue-based dishes as a snack. The versatility and simplicity meringues offer is second to none – perfect for pairing with seasonal fruits and cream, making a classic lemon meringue pie or even a festive trifle for Christmas. Your customers will love the taste and your kitchen staff will love the ease!

That’s before we get on to the convenient and moreish wrapped snowballs and teacakes – everyone from school caterers to hoteliers wants these little parcels of joy to add value and keep customers satisfied.
