Fox's Burton's Companies: two historic British biscuit brands under one manufacturer

Fox's Burton's Companies (FBC UK) is the result of the union of two historic British biscuit brands: Fox's and Burton's. The company traces the origin of its combined heritage to 1853 and presents itself as the second largest British manufacturer of branded sweet biscuits. Its activity takes place in several bakeries distributed across England, Scotland and Wales.

The company describes its identity as the combination of tradition and innovation applied to biscuit making, with the stated aim of maintaining its presence in the British market and expanding it beyond the United Kingdom.

Brands and products

The FBC UK catalogue brings together well-known names from the UK biscuit sector. Among the brands the company highlights are:

• Maryland
• Jammie Dodgers
• Crunch Creams
• Wagon Wheels
• Fox's Chocolatey
• Party Rings

The company describes these brands as part of the country's most popular varieties and flavours, with a regular presence on supermarket shelves. Fox's Biscuits is associated in its presentation with more classic-style biscuits and cookies, while the Burton's brands are linked to products such as Jammie Dodgers, Wagon Wheels and Maryland cookies.

Where the biscuits are made

Production is spread across several sites. The company expressly cites Dorset, Batley and the Isle of Arran as some of the places where its biscuits are made, within a network of bakeries extending across England, Scotland and Wales.

Structure and presence

FBC UK operates with a multi-site structure. In addition to its production sites, the company has an office in London and facilities in locations such as Batley, Blackpool, Dorset, Edinburgh, the Isle of Arran, Kirkham, Livingston and Llantarnam. This geographical distribution supports its position as a national manufacturer in the United Kingdom.
