Vendor Info The Walkers story begins over a hundred years ago in 1898, when the twenty-one year old Joseph Walker opened the doors of his own bakery with a loan of £50 and the dream of making the finest shortbread in the world. By 1975, Walkers had outgrown their extended bakery, and moved to a custom built factory that gave them the extra space and facilities they needed to develop new products such as Chocolate Chip Shortbread and speciality biscuits. Still family owned and operated, today the third generation of the Walker family are using the same traditional recipe developed over 100 years ago, and is the largest shortbread company in the world.
