HARTLEY [ Food Manufacturer, UK ]
Sir William Pickles Hartley founded the Hartley's jam empire.
The Hartley family had lived near Pendle since sometime around 1620, and began as fairly modest local grocers in the district. Wycoller Hall was built by the Hartley family at the end of the 16th century.
As the business grew the family moved into the wholesale trade, and a chance event in 1871 started the Hartley business rolling, as, so it is said, a supplier failed to deliver a batch of jam and William was forced to make his own. His jam, marmalade and jelly sold so well that he continued to make it. Hartley began to develop his business by producing his own fruit and packaging it in his own distinctive earthenware pots.

In 1874 the business was transferred to Bootle, Liverpool.

In 1884 the jam-making business was incorporated as William Hartley & Sons Limited. In 1885 Hartley moved the business to Aintree in Liverpool, where he built Hartley Village for his workers.

Throughout his life, he donated money for religious or philanthropic causes in Colne, Liverpool and in London. Many buildings in Colne, built in 1911 still stand today and are known locally as Hartley homes. In 1902 Hartley opened a jam factory in Bermondsey, south-east London and employed over 2,000 people. By 1908 he had been knighted by King Edward VII for his many charitable acts and funding to Sunday Schools and for the establishment of hospitals.
