George Osborne's youngest son Albert (1860-1941) was chairman and managing director from 1911 to 1921. He was knighted in 1922 for public services. Sir Albert died on 28 November 1941 at his home (Totteridge Park, Hertfordshire) and is buried in the family grave at Highgate Cemetery.

Although there was a week-long strike in September 1890, it involved only about a third of the 600 staff, and was prompted by the Gas Stokers’ union. [9] Generally management-staff relationships were good, and the company's own union was established in the early 1890s as “Barratt & Co.’s and Employees Aid & Protective Union.” Rule 6 stated that membership of any other Trade or Business Union was not permitted. Employees contributed from 1d. to 3d. per week, depending on their wages (from under 12/- to over 18/- ), and received benefits on production of a certificate signed by a doctor. Barratt & Co. was established in London in 1848 by George Osborne Barratt. By 1906 it was the largest confectionery manufacturer in the world. [1]

It became a limited company in 1909, and was acquired by Bassett's in 1966, then by Cadbury Schweppes in 1989 and by Tangerine Confectionery (since renamed Valeo Confectionery) in 2008. The Panel first commented on the location of the product within the retail outlet because the complainant had made a point of saying the product was originally displayed away from the alcohol section. The Panel noted that the location of alcohol within a retail outlet was outside the producer’s control and was the retailer’s responsibility and therefore not subject to the Code.

the descriptor ‘a classic blend of fermented distilled alcohol’ also appeared on the main body of the front label; The Panel noted that the front label of the products featured the word ‘schnapps’, the alcohol strength statement and product descriptor. The Panel considered whether schnapps was a widely recognised alcohol descriptor and concluded that it was. The Panel also noted that ‘schnapps’ was in relatively large font and featured directly beneath the brand name. In light of these indicators, the Panel concluded that the alcoholic nature of the products was communicated with absolute clarity, and accordingly the complaint under Code rule 3.1 was not upheld. a b Plowright, Dennis G.

A selection of old photographs, brochures and letters from former employees is held in the archives of the London Borough of Haringey at Bruce Castle Museum. On several occasions staff expressed their appreciation of the management, e.g. on the occasion of the golden wedding of George and Mrs Barratt in 1899, and in gratitude for an outing to Southend in 1910.Saunders, W.

Greater London Industrial Archaeology Society . Retrieved 10 March 2020. George Osborne Barratt started a confectionery business in 1848 employing one sugar boiler at 32 Shepherdess Walk, Hoxton. The enterprise was successful: it grew rapidly and neighbouring properties were bought up to allow for the expansion. Barratt himself travelled, in his pony and trap, to deliver and promote his products in and around London. Then, his eldest son George (1852-1928), when he was about 17, took over these journeys, and Barratt senior worked large parts of the country for the next 20 years. The Panel noted however that the confectionery flavours were retro and were likely to resonate with older consumers, who were most likely to be in their late 20s or 30s. The Panel considered that whilst the confectionery names might have some appeal to under-18s, they did not think that this was strong enough to constitute particular appeal. A social club was opened in the 1930s, providing a club room, snooker, darts, dancing and a drama section. [10] The company also provided a surgery with a full-time nurse and visiting doctor. The factory had a chiropodist and a fully equipped dental centre, with a dentist calling once a week.
