Peek Freans


Peek Freans is the name of a former biscuit making company based in Bermondsey, London, which is now a global brand of biscuits and related confectionery owned by various food businesses. Owned but not marketed in the UK/Europe by United Biscuits, in the United States and Canada the brand is owned by Mondelēz International, whilst in Pakistan the brand is owned by English Biscuit Manufacturers.
==Background==
James Peek (1800–1879) was one of three brothers born in Dodbrooke, Devon to a local well-off family.〔 In 1821 the three brothers founded a tea importation company, established as ''Peek Brothers and Co'' in the East End of London.〔 By the 1840s, the company was importing £5M of tea per annum.〔
In 1824, James married Elizabeth Masters (1799–1867), and the couple had eight children.〔 By 1857, two of his late-teenage sons had already announced that they were not going to join the family tea import business, but James wanted them in a related complementary trade, and so proposed to start a biscuit business. However, after founding the business, the two sons quickly decided on a different course (one died in his early 20's, the other emigrated to North America), and so James needed someone to run the biscuit business. One of his nieces, Hannah Peek had recently married miller and ship biscuit maker George Hender Frean in Devon, and so James wrote to George asking him to manage the new biscuit business.〔
