Since 2018, Brian Thomas and Anna Howard have been the driving force behind PURE New Zealand Ice Cream and have seen the business go from strength to strength. Already familiar with the brand and established devotees of the product, Brian, his wife Linzi, and Anna didn’t hesitate to seal the deal when the company appeared on the market and became owners and stewards of the brand in Sept of that year. Brian and Anna, who run the business day to day, quickly identified PURE’s 3 brand pillars: Nothing artificial - ever; Intensely delicious flavours; and Leave only the lightest touch on the environment. The recipe seems to have worked! Read on to find out more about Brian and the success of PURE New Zealand Ice Cream.
