Unlike Cadburys, Mars chocolate hasn’t got noticeably nastier in the last decade, just much smaller. Hotel Chocolat is overpriced anyway, while perfectly acceptable. So this is not particularly perturbing.

There is another young Cadbury on the block, just starting out. Not your cheap everyday chocolate mind

Cadbury Chocolate: James Cadbury's Ethical UK Chocolate | Love Cocoa

Love Cocoa by James Cadbury - inspired by my great-great-great grandfather John Cadbury, who setup Cadbury chocolate nearly 200 years ago. Chocolate runs in the blood, a proud Cadbury history. I created Love Cocoa with the purpose of making great-tasting chocolate bars here in Great Britain...

I read about him a while ago, just before the covid pandemic I think.
Interesting to me being a Brummie particularly as I noticed their office was originally in Hackney, not too far from where I live now but I see they've moved to the Islington area now, I know where that building is too.

Posh chocolate isn't my thing but good luck to him - great to see one of the Cadbury family carrying on the trade, albeit in a different way.

Didn't realise chocolatier was an inheritable trait, though I suppose he has the contacts in the trade.

Remaining British clearly does matter. I shall not cry over this nor will I ever buy what passes for a "Cadbury" product again

Cadbury dropped from royal warrant list after 170 years
