History
The company began as Matlow Bros. Ltd in a small factory in London in 1928[2] by Alfred and Maurice Matlow. In 1933, they formed Swizzles Limited along with David Dee.[1]
In 1940, The Blitz forced their business to relocate northwards to New Mills, where it remains. Later, in 1975, they adopted their current title Swizzels Matlow Ltd.
