Boutique chocolate company Ocho: future is looking sweet

From First Up, 5:33 am on 10 December 2019

Boutique chocolate company Ocho is ramping up business two years after a well-publicised crowd-funding campaign raised two-million dollars in less than 48 hours. Ocho was born in 2017 after Cadbury owner Mondelez announced it was shutting its iconic Dunedin factory making more than 350 staff redundant. The company admits it's been a bit of a rough ride since, and after a round of restructuring, new General Manager Dale Clements says the future is looking good. First Up's Jeremy Parkinson asked Mr Clements how the company's shareholders are feeling about their investment.
