Thank you for the great response to our Honeycomb questionnaire. We were pleased to hear that your overall reaction is good - 40% of you much prefer the new recipe and a further 50% of you like both - so 90% majority in favour of the new improved honeycomb recipe. We are however sad that 10% of you will be disappointed with the change. Please note that you can still obtain our original recipe if you find Mackies ice cream in a scooping parlour or café.

Winter is a great time for ice cream! Here is a picture of Mackie’s new ice cream snowman who has made the news today. We made him by adding layers of partially frozen ice cream onto the first base of ice cream - which required just as much dedication and patience as making a real snowman! The result is a magnificent and delicious ice cream sculpture made with 100s of litres of Mackies ice cream and topped with a chocolate hat. Mackies special snowman celebrates the first Scottish Christmas Country Living Fair which opens today and then all weekend in Glasgow SECC - its definitely worth a visit! Come and visit the Mackies stand where you can try our full range of flavours – and if you show us this picture you can claim a free cone! You can join in the winter ice cream fun by making your own mini snowman and there is a prize of a free tub voucher for the first ten we see! Just send your picture to mackies@mackies.co.uk

Mackie’s vision is to be “a global brand from the greenest company in Britain created by people having fun”.

Mac Mackie, Managing Director (41) is our champion for renewable energy at Mackie’s. Last night he collected the winner trophy for Mackie’s environmental performance.

The inaugural environmental FT awards were presented to companies who have demonstrated the greatest improvement in carbon efficiency in their respective categories. Mackie’s is regional winner for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Mackie’s have dramatically reduced their carbon emissions from an estimated CO2 usage of 341 tonnes in 2004 and in 2006 the dramatic change to a surplus of 113 tonnes and the forecast for 2007/8 is to be 305 tonnes.

Mac Mackie ..“Going green is a trend which will necessarily grow in urgent response to climate change. It is part of a continuous improvement programme at Mackie’s farm fuelled by a desire to cut waste and costs, care for the land and wildlife, increase alternative energy production and expand recycling. It makes good sense for the planet, but also makes good financial and marketing sense”
