THE BUSINESS
Helen’s Chocolates Limited is a family run business which was established and founded by Helen and Ken Davidson in 1987. The business has therefore been situated in Bowness for 36 years. From 2000, Helen’s daughter took over the running of the business and continues to do so today. The business became a limited company in 2003.

Helen’s Chocolates specialises in the sale of luxurious handmade chocolates. Sourced from a range of local and further afield suppliers which have been built up over the many years of trading. The business now also operates online and delivers products all over the world.
