A family storyOffering a premium service and pioneeringnew products and processes has alwaysbeen part of the Silvery Tweed traditionsince 1843, when millwright Henry OgleShort first set up in business.
He supplied regional bakeries, breweriesand animal feed suppliers, often withbespoke goods. Now, five generations on,Silvery Tweed Cereals is providinginnovative solutions to blue-chip foodsector businesses across the UK andbeyond.
In 1922 we introduced speciality flours toour product portfolio, adding Robinson’sBarley Water to our list of prestigiousclients. In the 1980s, we were amongst thefirst to experiment with coating cereals forthe newly emerging muesli market, asector in which we remain a major player.
Investing in the futureThe move to our current purpose builtpremises in 1998 provided us with theopportunity to modernise our plant andexpand. Since then we have invested over£7 million in state-of-the-art equipment andadded speciality blending to our portfolioof skills. In 2009 we produced our firstown-label product - granola.
We remain a family business at heart. Our success is built on trust, flexibility,responsiveness and an eagerness to listento what our customers want, then to deliverit, adding value along the way.
We are constantlyemploying newtechnologies to ensurewe remain at theforefront of industryinnovation.
