Historia
The company was founded by William Symington in 1827 when he acquired a warehouse in Adam and Eve Street, Market Harborough, Leicestershire. He later moved to Church Street as a wholesale grocer. William Symington perfected and patented a process for the preparation of pea flour. In about 1865 he was joined by his son, Samuel. The business expanded and became well known for dehydrated soups, gravy, custard powder, blancmange powder, table creams, jellies, and fruit puddings. In 1903 registered offices were at Bowden Steam Mills, Little Bowden, Market Harborough. In 1904 Symington supplied pea flour to Scott's first Antarctic Expedition. Acquired by J Lyons and Company Limited in 1969 and merged with Lyons' Catering Sales Limited.
