History

Sir Stanley and Peter Thomas were brothers born above a bakery run by their father in Merthyr Tydfil. They joined the family business, but after it was sold decided to start their own venture.

In 1971 with their sister and father they bought a factory unit on the Bryn Glas Industrial Estate, Bedwas in Mid Glamorgan, selling pies to local fish and chip shops under the name Peter's Savoury Products. In 1976, the business moved to a new factory at Bedwas House Industrial Estate, to enable distribution down the M4 motorway and eventually into London.

In 1988, the business was sold to Grand Metropolitan for in excess of £95m.

Peters Savoury Products purchased Henry Telfers van sales business in August 1989.
