Sugosa. Sugosa was a small company established (probably in the 1920s) to import and distribute confectionery from Czechoslovakia for the U.K. market. The London office designed the sweets - product, wrapping etc. and the Czechs made them. The confectionery was distributed to the retail trades and supermarkets.

The company occupied a suite of offices in Marlon House, Mark Lane, London which is adjacent to Fenchurch Street Railway Station. In the 1960s there were six employees at Sugosa: David Mitchell, Stewart Gibson, Vance Pennington, Bob Warrior and two secretaries/typists/phone operators. Vance Pennington has personally assisted greatly with the information on this page, for which thanks are due and given.

In 1966, Sugosa had the Czechs produce a sugar confection by way of a lollipop with a 'World Cup Willie' design that went right through it, rather like lettering in British seaside rock.
