About our client
Gü was launched with three products in 2003, and subsequently joined by its fruity sibling, Frü, which followed two years later. In May 2010 the two brands joined forces under the name of Gü.
It's estimated that a Gü pud is now eaten somewhere in the world every 2 seconds.
So with our mousses, soufflés, chocs, cheesecakes, melting middles, tortes, brownie cakes, nibbles and naughties we've created a whole new world of chocolate extremism that's strictly for adults.
What's on offer
