St Bede’s pupil’s “souper” design wins Baxters can competition

A SCHOOLGIRL has been hailed as a design “soup”-erstar!

Eight-year-old Olivia Krupczak (pictured) won a competition to create a soup label for long-running food group Baxters.

It came after Baxters’ innovation manager Darren Sivewright visited St Bede’s Primary School last year and challenged pupils to come up with a  design to commemorate their joint 150th anniversaries.

Olivia, who focused on the health benefits of each ingredient in her seasonal soup, will see her design will be printed on to 500 limited edition cans, which will be given to the St Bede’s Primary School pupils to enjoy.  

St Bede’s headteacher Amanda Wassell, said: “We are so happy that Olivia's label was chosen as the winner. 

“We’re all really excited to see the finished product, and of course taste the soup.

“We had an amazing day when Darren visited us last year.

“Our pupils really enjoyed learning all about Baxters’ fascinating history and the process behind creating its products.”

Mr Sivewright said: “We were really impressed by all of the entries we received to the design competition, the standard was really high. 

“Olivia’s design stood out because she had clearly taken on board all the information she learned during the session last year, and her artwork was very professional.”
