Heinz Foodservice has raised just under £2,000 after it pledged to donate £1.50 to the charity Fishermen's Mission, from each case of the SqueezeMe! variety packs sold.

Fishermen's Mission provides vital emergency and welfare support to fishermen and their families around the country.

The donation comes as part of this year's celebrations marking the 150th anniversary of the great British classic dish, fish and chips.

SqueezMe! Variety Packs feature Heinz Mayonnaise, Heinz Garlic Mayonnaise, Heinz Tartare, HP Brown and HP BBQ. The number of cases sold during July and August totalled 1,286, raising just under £2,000 for the charity.

Brand manager for Heinz Foodservice, Samantha D'Silva, said: "We're delighted to make a contribution to the great work done by the Fishermen's Mission. It seems only fitting that the 150th anniversary celebrations of such a national favourite dish should be marked with this charity, which plays such an important role in the country's fishing industry."
