Bradburys Celebrates 130 Years

The business was established in 1884 by Reverend William John Bradbury, and began by trading cheese at local markets. Its expansion involved supplying cheese to gentleman’s clubs at the turn of the twentieth century, and now supplies over 80 independent cheese retailers and also stocks major retail, export, food service and wholesale business.

The company now claims a £90 million turnover and employs 125 people.

George Paul, owner of Bradburys said, “We are extremely proud of our 130 year heritage, we believe our success is built on cheese knowledge and skill that is second to none in the industry. This has been developed through open and honest values, a can-do attitude and an unquenchable demand for quality coupled with a burning passion for cheese and vision for the future. As this historic milestone is something few are privileged to enjoy, we look forward to celebrating this with our customers, wide supply base and staff who have contributed to our success.”
