Simpkins have been exporting for over 80 years, originally to the old Commonwealth countries with Vita Glucose tablets and then moving on to Travel Tins in the early 1940s. During the Second World War, when sweets were rationed, the company was zoned as to where sales could be made. Simpkins were confined to North of Birmingham and their competitors South. Today UK sales are still predominantly through chemist and health food outlets – with Travel Tins and Sugar Free confectionery. The iconic Simpkins sweet tin has since become a mainstay of the British motorist’s glove compartment – helping young and old alike to cope with those long car journeys!

It was at this time he got the idea of extending the range from bulk Barley Sugars in jars to powdered sweets in 8oz tins.
