Company History
This company was a well-known Aberdeen-based bakery that had been in operation since 1833, and had headquarters on ‘The Granite Mile’, 25 Union Street in the middle of Aberdeen. The company also seems to have had various shops in Aberdeen, including one on Elmbank Terrace dating from the 1930s. In 1906 they listed themselves as bread and biscuit manufacturers.

In 1933 the biscuit division was sold to Canadian biscuit manufacturer Garfield Weston, and moved to Edinburgh. However the bakery continued to operate, with delivery boys still being employed in the 1960s. It appears that the company became absorbed by a wider conglomerate of other companies in the 1980s, and ceased operating as an independent brand at about that time.
