History of Matthew Walker

Matthew Walker, a Derbyshire farmers' son, started a business in the 1890’s producing a range of preserves and Christmas puddings from his mother's special recipes.

As the demand for his products grew, he needed an outlet for his wares. An old school friend called Hodgkinson, ran a grocers shop and agreed to sell Matthew Walker’s products through his shop.

The puddings soon established a reputation for quality and the business thrived. By 1899 Matthew Walker was able to open a small factory in Exeter Street, Derby and as sales continued to expand he relocated to a purpose-built factory in Heanor, Derbyshire, the location for today’s modern factory.
