William Jackson & Son Limited (trading as the William Jackson Food Group) is a British food manufacturer.
History
The company was founded by William Jackson (1828–1912), who was born in Elstronwick and opened his first shop at 28 Scale Lane in Hull in 1851.[1][2] He originally traded as a grocer and tea dealer.[3]
The Jacksons Stores chain, which by that time comprised 114 convenience stores across the north of England, was sold to Sainsbury's in 2004.[4]
The first bakery opened in 1891 and the current Jackson's bakery on Derringham Street opened in 1907.[1][3]
