Title: Copenhagen Exhibition, 1948 [Go to resource]
Description: This was probably one of the first international trade exhibitions that Huntley & Palmers attended after the end of the Second World War. From 1942 Huntley & Palmers export trade had been almost non-existent due to rationing and wartime restrictions. In 1945 exports accounted for less than 5% of the company's turnover. After the Second World War biscuit exports were initially restricted to 'sponsored markets', arranged by the governments concerned. It wasn't until 1947 that the British government lifted restrictions on Huntley & Palmers.
