20 Years of Iconic Brands: Warburtons

20 Years of Iconic Brands: Warburtons

The Trading Post may not have George Clooney, Olivia Colman, Samuel L. Jackson or Rboerto De Niro on their payroll, but they do have their favourite British bread and bakery items in their warehouse. Despite France being lauded worldwide for its boulangeries and pain, for many people nothing beats a proper loaf of sliced bread. And don't get me started on the general necessity of buttered crumpets...

Nothing completes a sausage sandwich or bacon butty quite like a couple of slices of Warburtons bread and practically nothing can compare with the thuxurious (thick & luxurious) pleasure of a hot, buttered, just-toasted slice of Toastie bread. Whilst Warburtons are now undoubtedly Britain's biggest bread brand, this has not always been the case and many people from outside the North-West of England will only have discovered them after their rapid expansion in the 1990s. Nowadays they are EVERYWHERE including supermarkets, shops, hotels, pubs and cafes throughout France, thanks to The Trading Post.

Warburton's position as one of Britain's favourite brands has most recently seen them team up with massive hollywood stars to advertise some of their most popular products. In addition to the actors noted above, Morgan Freeman, Sylvester Stallone and The Muppets have also appeared to promote the bakery. In turn, this has led to all kinds of posts, youtube videos and 'advertorial' pieces in the national press, such as The Telegraph's "Why Do Hollywood Stars Keep Advertising Warburtons?"*

The Trading Post are very happy to have tonnes of Warburtons bread, crumpets and muffins ready to deliver throughout France and, as part of our 20th birthday celebrations, we'll be sneaking some Warburtons goodies into every hamper given away every day in November.



*I could've saved The Telegraph lots of trouble. The answer is probably money. Warburtons are probably paying them money. Journalism over.
