It was 100 years ago that Wrigley started out in a small London office, with an investment of just £2,000. Now, the company sells 725 million packs of gum each year and more than 90% of the gum chewed by Britons is made by the company.
“It’s so exciting to see how far we’ve come since we launched in the UK in 1911, from small beginnings in a single office in London to becoming the UK’s biggest seller of gum,” says Hamish Thomson, Wrigley’s UK general manager.” Despite all the political, cultural and technical changes, the core of what we do remains clear: to celebrate simple pleasures to brighten everyone’s day.”
