Wilkin & Sons (Tiptree)

In 1885, The Britannia Fruit Preserving Company was formed and the very first "Tiptree" preserves were made. We received our first Royal Warrant from George V in 1911 and each subsequent monarch has maintained the tradition. Today, the "Tiptree" estate includes farms in Tiptree, Tollesbury and Goldhanger. Around 650 acres of Essex farmland produce Grade I fruits. Through a trust, the employees control almost half the company's shares. The company is the largest employer in Tiptree.
