Title: Van with Peek Frean advert in Singapore, 1959 [Go to resource]
Description: Peek Frean was established in 1857 and its first factory was in St Saviour's Dock, London. After a spectacular fire in 1872, which the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, came to see, a new factory was built in Bermondsey nearby. Peek Frean was famous for its 'Pearl' and 'Pat-A-Cake' biscuits. In 1921 Peek Frean and Huntley & Palmers formed Associated Biscuit Manufacturers Ltd. From that point on the two companies negotiated together on issues like retailers percentages and shared some financial information. It was not until April 1958 that Peek Frean and Huntley & Palmers became wholly owned subsidiaries of Associated Biscuit Manufacturers Ltd.
