About Marigold
Marigold has become so synonymous with rubber gloves in Britain that the brand name has entered everyday language - much like "hoover" for vacuum cleaners, "marigolds" is now the generic British term for rubber gloves. This cultural status reflects over 75 years of market leadership as the UK's best-selling glove brand. Founded by Joseph Jackson in 1937, Marigold revolutionised household cleaning when they launched the first latex rubber gloves specifically designed for washing up in 1950. Before this innovation, most rubber gloves were industrial or medical products not suited to domestic use. The bright, cheerful name was chosen to evoke the optimistic spirit of the marigold flower. Marigold's cultural significance was cemented when Queen Elizabeth II was presented with a pair during a visit to their Colchester factory in 1957. The brand has maintained its market-leading position ever since, with sales jumping 23% during the Covid-19 pandemic as household hygiene became a priority. Now part of Freudenberg Household Products and based at Vileda House in Rochdale, Lancashire, the Marigold range extends beyond kitchen gloves to include products for bathroom cleaning, DIY and gardening applications. The brand has partnered with TerraCycle to make their entire glove range fully recyclable, including disposable options.
