Company Details

Hotel Chocolat started out life as MMC back in 1987. Founded by Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris, the pair were designing and making mints under the name MMC. Over the years, the company developed towards designing and producing bespoke chocolates which were sold online as early as 1993, making Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris one of the UK’s earliest e-tailers. After creating the hugely popular Chocolate Club in 1998, the first ever Hotel Chocolat store was eventually opened in 2004 in Watford.

Hotel Chocolat pride themselves on being individual and creating and selling chocolates with a difference.
