History

In 1824, he opened a grocery store. He sold high-quality Cocoa and drinking Chocolate in his store. Due to high demand in 1831, he moved to a four-story warehouse nearby and started producing Cocoa and drinking Chocolate in a commercial state.

Thus, the Cadbury Manufacturing Business was born. Due to the high cost of production, it was sold to only wealthy people.

By 1842, he started selling around 11 varieties of Cocoa and 16 varieties of Chocolate. In 1875, they introduced Easter Eggs, which is one of the most popular products of the company.

The original logo of Cadbury consisted the name of the brand in bold and rounded letters, which was a Wordmark logo and was exceptionally designed.

In 1866, there came an elaborate two version where each character had a decorative details, which used a brown background reminiscent of the color of chocolate.

The logo removed its several curls with some changes introduced in 1960, and the letters in the second half of the word were straightened slightly.

During World War II, parts of the Bournville factory were turned over to war work, producing milling machines and seats for fighter aircraft.

As Chocolate was regarded as an essential food, it was placed under government supervision and was declared a ration item during the entire war period. Also, due to a shortage of supply, the British government banned manufacturers from using fresh Milk. So dried skimmed Milk was used instead.
