HistoryHistory
It was in 1934 that 24-year-old Keith Spicer founded the business, using the parlour of the family home in Bournemouth as the blending department and the distribution fleet consisted of a well used but serviceable butchers bicycle.
The company grew rapidly, becoming an important supplier to the local hotel and catering industries and by 1970 had moved to purpose built premises.
