About Hill Biscuits
Hill Biscuits is one of the largest and longest established biscuit manufacturers in the United Kingdom, with a proud heritage stretching back to 1855. Founded by Sarah and John Hill as a small family-run shop, the company has grown into a major force in British biscuit production, now manufacturing hundreds of millions of biscuits every year from their historic base in Manchester. Since 1893, Hill Biscuits has operated from Tudno Mill in Ashton-under-Lyne, where the company runs 24 hours a day across a 2-acre site employing approximately 370 colleagues. This dedicated workforce produces over 100 product lines that supply retail, wholesale, and foodservice markets throughout the UK and beyond, representing 170 years of continuous biscuit-making expertise. The Hill Biscuits range covers beloved British biscuit classics that have been tea-time favourites for generations. Their Custard Creams are particularly renowned, available in an impressive seven flavour variants. Other core products include Coconut Rings, Ginger Rings, Bourbon Fingers, Fruit Shortcake, Malted Milk, Digestives, and Gingerbread Men, each crafted to deliver consistent quality and traditional taste. Recent years have seen significant growth for Hill Biscuits, with revenues more than doubling to over £40 million by 2024, representing sales growth of 44% during this period. The company was acquired by Cerealto UK, the British arm of a Spanish agri-food business, positioning it for continued expansion whilst maintaining its Manchester manufacturing heritage. In 2025, Hill Biscuits made history by launching their first-ever savoury product after 170 years of sweet biscuit production. The "Simply Savoury by Hill Biscuits" range debuted with classic cream crackers, demonstrating the company's willingness to innovate whilst honouring their traditional expertise. UK shoppers can find Hill Biscuits products at supermarkets including Lidl, where their Mini Pack Selection and Mini Pack Mix offer convenient multi-packs perfect for lunchboxes, sharing, or personal snacking.
