About us

Soon after the company began trading, back in 1886, the Whitworths name became the hallmark of great home baking, which you recognise today.

Through wartime, peacetime, rationing and times of prosperity, Whitworths has been a staple, a comfort and even a luxury, in kitchens everywhere.

We are proud to have been pioneers for new products from all over the world, as well as for many preparation and packaging techniques, some principles of which are still applied today. We were the first to introduce a system that removed dust and grit from dried fruit  as well as being first to launch 'no need to soak' fruit.

Up to the present day we pride ourselves on bringing innovation and quality products to the market place. So when you need to be sure you are adding the best ingredients to your baking, cooking, to your breakfast cereals, salads and desserts - or if you just want a healthy snack - be sure to remember our name.

You’ll find our products in leading supermarkets, convenience stores and many other shops throughout the UK. Enjoy!
