British chocolate brand Prestat counted the Queen Mother, Roald Dahl and generations of sweet-toothed children as its fans but what happens when the company is rejuvenated for a new generation?

But after more than 100 years of ups and downs and a succession of colourful owners, the company aims to attract the next generation of fans. We visit the factory and sit down with chairman Nick Crean.
