Title: Partnership Agreement, 1857 [Go to resource]
Description: In 1857 Thomas Huntley died and his son, Henry Evans Huntley, became a partner in the Reading bakery. Henry had already worked at the factory for a trial period however this only lasted for twenty months and did not prove a success. George Palmer, who had paid £550 for a half share in the partnership in 1841, offered Henry nearly £38,000 for his share which Henry readily accepted. One of the conditions of the agreement was the right to use the name 'Huntley' in the continuing business. In the terms of this agreement, William Isaac and Samuel Palmer both became partners in the business, owning one-quarter share each. It was at this time that the business was renamed Huntley & Palmers.
