Tate & Lyle |
In the early years the families of Tate & Lyle were competitors
until their amalgamation in 1921. Henry Tate the son of a Lancashire Clergyman
had moved to Liverpool as a young boy and opened some grocery shops before
becoming a partner in a sugar refining company. He later purchased it and
changed its name to Henry Tate & Sons and constructed a refinery before
extending their activities to London. Meanwhile Abram Lyle had become interested
in sugar refining through his father who was a ship owner bringing in raw sugar
from the West Indies. He moved to London from Greencock and the families of Tate
& Lyle had refineries within a mile of each other. After the merger the
expansion of the company was rapid and they grew into a household name.
Golden Syrup still bears the name Lyles Golden Syrup’ with a picture of a lion
surrounded by bees under which is the phrase from Judges.
