Title: King's Road offices, 1980s [Go to resource]
Description: After production ended in 1976 the majority of the factory site was demolished and sold for redevelopment. Associated Biscuits' head office remained in these offices on the King's Road. In 1982 Nabisco, a North American based multinational, acquired Associated Biscuits Ltd but retained Reading as its UK Headquarters. The Nabisco flag is flying from the flagpole in this photograph. Nabisco sold its UK biscuit companies including Huntley & Palmers, Peak Frean and Jacobs to BSN/Danone, a French food group in 1989. The head offices of this business, which had been renamed as the Jacob's Bakery, finally moved from Kings Road to premises in the Suttons Business Park, Reading in 1991.
