Business profile:

Trademark Profile:
MasterChef’s brand name recognition and reputation speaks for itself! The Registered Trade Mark has been in constant use since 1977, and was first registered in 1981. The trademark has established itself into a recognised household name, recently enjoying substantial sales (in excess of £1.5 million per annum) to the retail sector and food service industry.

All packaging emphasises the word MasterChef in the red round oval. Both word and design are registered trademarks. There is strong brand awareness in both retail and foodservice sectors with continuing brand recall from the consumer. Some of the awareness is the result of several years of
Key Opportunities:
There is an excellent opportunity to build on the successful name of this trademark and current range of FREEZE-THAW-STABLE products. A purchaser with stronger financial resources & national marketing skills would quickly capitalise on the “package” of intellectual property for sale, coupled to an existing trading name and website.

Branding is the collection of attributes that the consumer has come to expect from a product, which will strongly influence their buying patterns. The brand name promises the consumer particular benefits, such as quality and value for money, and is regarded as a most important asset. In a market where repeat purchases are the key to profitability, a brand name becomes paramount to a product's success. A catchy name and distinctive packaging are vital ingredients in any brand image.
Financial profile:
These assets are being offered for sale as a “package” ideally suited to an existing food manufacturer wishing to launch a new brand and or a new product range.
