Founded in 1921 by Albert Leslie Simpkin, A L Simpkin & Co. Ltd. embarked on a journey to revolutionize British confectionary with its commitment to crafting high-quality glucose confections using natural flavors and colors. Originating from a burnt-down refrigeration factory in Hillsborough, Sheffield, the company quickly rose to prominence, and could be found in 90% of pharmacies in the United Kingdom. Travel Sweets were a staple to carry with you or in your car as you travel since having something sweet to suck on can often help when sufffering from travel sickness. It gives the digestive system something to do and the sugar can provide a much needed energy boost! The iconic Simpkin's Travel Tins, designed to preserve freshness with their airtight construction, became synonymous with travel sweets, earning the company its rightful place as the original manufacturer of Travel Sweets. Simpkin's products, renowned for their unique taste and texture, gained widespread popularity across Europe and beyond. Rooted in a rich family legacy, A L Simpkin & Co. Ltd. continues to uphold its tradition of excellence, and EnglishTeaStore.com is proud to offer these imported travel sweets to our customers, celebrating the heritage and innovation of Simpkin's Travel Tins.
