About Barratt
Barratt is one of Britain's most beloved confectionery brands, established in London in 1848 by George Osborne Barratt. For over 175 years, the company has been making Britain smile, chew, fizz, and crunch its way through generations of iconic sweets and sherbet treats. By 1906, Barratt had grown to become the largest confectionery manufacturer in the world. The brand created some of the most recognisable sweets in British history: Black Jack and Fruit Salad debuted in 1920, followed by the legendary Sherbet Fountain in 1925. DipDab, Refreshers, and Wham joined the portfolio to become playground favourites across the nation. Now owned by Valeo Confectionery (formerly Tangerine Confectionery), Barratt continues to innovate while honouring its heritage. The brand was revitalized in 2018 with a refreshed portfolio including classic favourites, Softies variants, and new product extensions. Modern offerings include sugar-free options, vegan and vegetarian-friendly sweets, and seasonal novelty items. Barratt is committed to sustainability, having removed over 360 tonnes of packaging since 2020 while ensuring all products are free from artificial colours and flavours. The brand has expanded beyond traditional confectionery into ice creams, cakes, and other treats.
