Britain’s manufacturers have created famous and unforgettable rands that have become part of our lives. Their stories are tales of heroic individual endeavour, dedicated workers, and instantly recognisable advertising and design. This course tells the story of some of the greatest and most enduring: Bird’s custard, Cadbury’s, Twining’s tea, Tate and Lyle, and others that stick in our minds, enliven our tables, and bring back happy memories.
