Hartley’s was a grocers founded by William Pickles Hartley in Lancashire. One day a consignment of jam didn’t show up, so William made his own. By 1885 Hartley’s was so successful that when they came to build a new factory at Aintree, they built a village to go with it.
With a history and expertise dating back to 1871, Hartley's knows what it takes to get the most out of fruit and produce jams that are second to none.
By the turn of the 20th century, Hartley’s had branched out from spreads into Jellies. The brand has been further extended in recent years with a range of successful desserts replacing historic brands such as Rowntrees and Chivers in Premier Foods’ portfolio.
