Managing director and owner with my family of Devonport Chocolates for the last 15 years has been a privilege and a joy We have delighted in developing the company to be New Zealand's premium chocolate company reknown for delicious chocolates and playful sculptures such as our chocolate shoes and handbags.We have achieved this by focussing on the quality of our ingredients and building a team of skilled chocolatiers who have over 45 years of experience between them. Building a rapport with our customers is a pleasure - not only with the customers who come through the door of our three shops each day but also the many clients we have in hospitality and corporate business throughout New ZealandOur clients challenge us to devise new ways of presenting chocolate and developing new flavours especially for them. We often supply the entire solution from designing chocolate to packaging and despatch to their clients.Visit us in one of our three stores - Devonport, Ponsonby or Queens Arcade, Queens St and we will show you the breadth of chocolates we have developed using New Zealand ingredients such as hazelnuts from Canterbury and apricots from Otago to name a few.There are always tastings available in each store and in the Devonport store you can see the chocolates being made through the window into the chocolate kitchenOur website www.devonportchocolates.co.nz has a host of gift options as well as seasonal treats
