we're a top e-boutique!
The Independent listed us as the 2nd best e-boutique on the web…and no, it wasn’t alphabetical. We were totally over the moon!

It was my favourite comic when I was young... and the inspiration for the look and feel of A Quarter Of...

A Quarter Of

a unique opportunity

Would you like to work at A Quarter Of? We're growing fast... and we have stacks of ideas for the future. So we're looking for a special person to be in charge of making it all happen.

Someone to make A Quarter Of bionic - better... faster... stronger.

Is that you? Or someone you know?

It's all about
- taking ideas and turning them into reality
- questioning and improving everything that we do... "Why do we do this? Wouldn't it be better if we did it like this?"
- running the company - organising and managing everything that's needed to send out 2 tonnes of sweets per day (and that's just what we've done so far!)

You must
- "get" A Quarter Of and what we do.
- have pots of common sense and a good business brain. That's much more important to us than experience.
- be ambitious... because we are.
- be the sort of person who makes things happen.

we don't look like this!
Interested? Then email us at sol@aquarterof.co.uk and tell us why... and what you can offer.

special offer turkish delight

This is the best Turkish Delight we have ever ever tasted. I used to think that you could only get plain old Rose Turkish Delight. How wrong I was!

delicious turkish delight

 

 

We've Hazelnut, Chocolate, Pistachio, Lemon, Rose (of course!)... Sultan Delight and Pasha Delight (no... I'd never heard of them either... but they taste amazing... take a look for yourself!). And all are covered in coconut... to make them even more irresistible

We had this made especially for us - by a proper Turkish Delight maker in Konya, Turkey... and it's proper good!

And it's just got better... because we've just taken 30p off the price of every 250g bag. But stocks really are extremely limited... so treat yourself while you can!

check out the brand new a quarter of decade pages

Do you just love to reminisce about the good old days?

The days when life was simpler... when the highlight of the week was a trip to the local sweetshop, or the delivery of your copy of the Beano, or the triumph of successfully slipping a whoopee cushion under your Auntie Rita?

70s Decade Box of Sweets!

If so, then come and visit our new Decade Pages: we've started a bank of reminiscences from the 50s and 60s covering all aspects of life then, from food to books, to television to toys.

The aim is to develop it into an ever-growing bank of people's memories. And don't forget - everyone is welcome to contribute their very own piece of history... how cool is that?

To see them, click here for the 50s, and here for the 60s!
