BRAND STORY The Walkers story begins over a hundred years ago in 1898 in the
Scottish Highlands, when the twenty-one year old Joseph Walker opened the
doors of his own bakery with a loan of £50 and the dream of making the finest
shortbread in the world. In the first year of business, Joseph used every
spare moment to perfect his shortbread recipe, and it was time well spent.As
his fame spread, and demand increased for his quality shortbread, Joseph took
the first steps to expanding the business by moving to a larger shop in the
Speyside village of Aberlour and investing in a horse and cart to deliver his
baking further afield.During the 30s, the business – like Joseph’s family –
was expanding. Two of his sons – James and Joseph – joined the business,
bringing fresh, new ideas with them. By 1936, they had introduced three
valuable additions to the business: a range of cakes, a selection of
confectionery – and the company’s first delivery van. Now Walkers produce
could be sold even further afield, and the prospects for expansion were
looking promising.While some manufacturers began to cut corners by using
margarine instead of butter, Joseph believed that people still appreciated the
care that went into making a superior product like Walkers shortbread. And he
was right. That’s why, even after Joseph Walker died in 1954, his sons
continued to use his original recipe.Demand grew, and so did the business. By
1961, all three of James’ children – Joseph, James and Marjorie – had joined
the business, making the third generation of Walkers working for the family
firm. By 1975, Walkers had outgrown their extended bakery, and moved to a
custom built factory that gave them the extra space and facilities they needed
to develop new products such as Chocolate Chip Shortbread and specialty
cookies.By the 1970s, Joseph’s grandchildren had begun exporting Walkers
shortbread to over 60 countries around the world – still baking to his
original recipe. Within a decade, they won the first of three Queen’s Awards
for Export Achievement – the highest accolade given to British exporters.Then,
as now, Walkers stayed in touch with their customers by testing every new
product in Aberlour’s village shop. So, customers around the world are
enjoying a range of products that were first given the seal of approval by the
villagers of Aberlour. Consistent quality and traditionally delicious recipes
have made Walkers the choice of the most discerning customers and
retailers.Walkers reputation grows day by day as loyal customers worldwide
delight in traditional shortbreads and innovative new products like almond,
ginger and luxurious chocolate covered shortbread. All Walkers’ products are
packaged in its unmistakable red tartan and proudly bearing the image of
Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora MacDonald, the image which captures one of the
most romantic moments from Scotland’s history, and reflects all the tradition
and care that goes into baking every piece of Walkers shortbread.The quality
and natural goodness of Walkers has attracted many international awards,
including five gold Mondiale medals and the Food from Britain Innovation
Award.While Joseph’s children and grandchildren have moved with the times,
they have always remained true to his original ideal – and his original
recipe. So, when the family opened a new factory at Elgin to produce their
popular new range of shortbread cookies and biscuits, they naturally still
insisted on using only the finest ingredients: plump fruits, aromatic spices,
chunks of real chocolate and flavorsome nuts. And there’s not an artificial
flavoring, coloring or preservative in sight. Just as Joseph Walker guaranteed
all those years ago.Today, Joseph would be proud to know that his great
grandchildren are carrying on the family tradition and are now the fourth
generation of Walkers to make ‘The world’s classic pure butter shortbread’.
