Whitworths Whole Sweetened Dried Cranberries

Whitworths is a heritage British brand specializing in dried fruits, nuts, and seeds. Founded in 1886 by the Whitworth brothers in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, the brand has grown into a household name in the UK. The products often feature global sourcing to ensure high-quality ingredients, which are then processed and packaged at their facilities in the United Kingdom.

In recent years, the ownership of Whitworths has transitioned into international hands. Following a period of ownership by European private equity firm Equistone, the brand was acquired by the Turkish food conglomerate Yıldız Holding. Today, it operates under the United Biscuits (pladis) umbrella, which is part of the extensive snacks and confectionery portfolio managed by Yıldız Holding globally. This ownership structure places Whitworths alongside other iconic brands like McVitie's and Godiva, while maintaining its British identity and operational base in Northamptonshire.
