Schoolboy wins ice cream flavour design contest

Will won the competition with his "Peachy Beachy" design

A schoolboy has won a competition to have his design for a new ice cream flavour produced and sold in Jersey.

Will, 12, came up with a flavour called "Peachy Beachy" that is being made by Jersey Dairy and sold at Coop stores for a week.

A portion of all sales will go to Les Amis, a charity supporting islanders with learning disabilities.

Eamon Fenlon, managing director of Jersey Dairy, said there were hundreds of entries.

Mr Fenlon said: "We're excited to be going into production with this truly inventive flavour ice cream."

As part of his prize, Will had a behind the scenes VIP tour of Jersey Dairy, and watched his very own ice cream flavour roll off the production line before being given a full case to take home.

Shaun Findlay, managing director of Les Amis, said: "What a great competition this has been and although there could only be one winner, it has been amazing to see the community get behind the initiative to help us celebrate our Golden Anniversary.

"Congratulations to Will and I know all our team, and our residents, are looking forward to trying the new ice cream."
