"Tunnock's
Tasteful Past"
How do you create ever-popular biscuits products?
Well, start with excellent ingredients. Add layers
of ownership by the same, caring family. The cover
with generous sprinkling of attention to detail
and personal service.
This winning formula was initiated by Thomas
Tunnock in 1890 after he paid £80 for a shop in
Uddingston. Under the guidance of Thomas (and
later his son, Archie), Tunnock's operated only as
bakers and purveyors of quality flour
confectionery until the 1950s. This decade saw the
emergence of four speciality items: Caramel
Wafers, Snowballs, Caramel Logs and Teacakes.
Conqeuently, business boomed and factory
extentions followed, the latest as recent as 2002.
The innovative management has always remainded
true to the original principles and is close to
the local community. Indeed, it is funny how the
more things change at Tunnock's, the more they
stay the same. |
