Whitworths is a company that makes and sells delicious dried fruit, nuts, and snack products. They also provide ingredients for home baking. This company started a long time ago, in 1886, in a town called Irthlingborough, which is in Northamptonshire, UK.
The company was first started by three brothers named John, Herbert, and Newton Whitworth. They called their business Whitworth Bros. It's important to know that the Whitworths company today is different from another company nearby, also called Whitworth Bros., which makes flour.
Whitworths has even received special recognition from the Royal Family! In 1971, they were given a Royal Warrant by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. A few years later, in 1974, they received another Royal Warrant from Queen Elizabeth II. This means their products were supplied to the Royal Household.
About Whitworths
Whitworths is well-known for its wide range of products. You can find their dried fruits, like raisins and apricots, in many stores. They also offer different kinds of nuts, perfect for snacking or adding to recipes. If you enjoy baking at home, Whitworths provides many ingredients to help you create tasty treats.
A Look Back at History
Whitworths has changed owners a few times over the years. In September 2013, a company called Equistone bought Whitworths. Later, in May 2017, Whitworths was sold again to a company named Anatolia. Anatolia is a company from Turkey that also produces dried fruit.
