Vijay Sawant obituary

My partner's father, Vijay Sawant, who has died aged 78, was an accomplished scientist who applied his skills and ingenuity to the design and manufacture of ice-creams - two of which, Cornetto and Magnum - are among the most popular of all time.

Over a 30-year career with Wall's ice-cream in the UK, Vijay developed processes that were integral to the success not just of those two brands but a number of others, including the Raspberry Split and Sky Bar, the last two of which are no longer sold in the UK.
