Comment: Blackjack Promotions Account Manager for Luxury, Confectionery, WDFG & Airport Retailers Kay Walker: “This activity has already sweetened the experience for passengers visiting Heathrow and World Duty Free in T5 and we’re looking forward to further success in T3. Reese’s is a unique product with the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter and the Hershey Company has a great story to tell. We hope this is the first of many more activities to come.”

The Hershey Company World Travel Team Lead Europe Amy Wilson: “Confectionery is the most impulsive category within travel retail and snacking is a growing usage occasion. We are excited to be partnering with Blackjack and WDFG to have Hershey’s Reese’s brand in Heathrow to drive excitement in the confectionery category.”
