Talk:Elizabeth Shaw (confectionery company)

When did the company leave this building? Where do they make products now? Sprintstar (talk) 07:22, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

This article reads as though it has been written by people promoting the company, and by the local residents around the chocolate factory. "Internationally known" is not quantifiable; "sold around the world" would be. The second paragraph talks about opinions of the residents, but provides no citations or quotations. The statement around George Ferguson is nebulous and vague; visions do not turn factories into "leading venues." Equally, "leading venue" is vague and not substantiated.

Update and possible page move

Hi. I have updated the company history of Elizabeth Shaw, giving short histories on each of the companies that made up today's business as part of my project on Cavenham Foods. Some of the companies like Paramount, and products like Kay-Kay sweets have very little coverage on the net. I have not touched the section on Greenbank factory - should this be moved to the Greenbank article? Also would anyone object if I moved the page to Elizabeth Shaw Ltd, which is the official company name these days?Davidstewartharvey (talk) 07:07, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies) suggests that Ltd/plc should not normally be used in the title but can be used when disambiguation is needed, so that supports a move to Elizabeth Shaw Ltd, or maybe Elizabeth Shaw Ltd. - need to check what the norm is for such titles. There may be other useful stuff at Wikipedia:WikiProject Companies/Guidelines. PamD 10:13, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

J Whitehouse & Co

this name appears in the 1969 Who Owns Who under Yeatmans & Co, a subsidiary of Cavenham. I can find that they ran Mascot Confectionery in Worthing but how they became part of Yeatmans is the question?Davidstewartharvey (talk) 14:34, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
