Cadburys Milk Tray 1970’s
Milk Tray is a brand of boxed chocolates currently manufactured by Cadbury. Introduced by Cadbury UK in 1915, it is one of the longest running brands in the confectioner’s portfolio. Milk Tray is sold in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, New York City, South Africa and the United Kingdom.
The name ‘Tray’ derived from the way in which the original assortment was delivered to the shops. Originally Milk Tray was packed in five and a half pound boxes, arranged on trays from which it was sold loose to customers.
The pack design has been regularly updated and the assortment itself has changed in line with consumer preferences, and today it is still one of the most popular boxes of chocolates in the UK selling over 8 million boxes per annum.
From 1968 to 2003, and since 2016, the chocolate is advertised by the ‘Milk Tray Man’, a tough James Bond–style figure who undertakes daunting ‘raids’ to surreptitiously deliver a box of Milk Tray chocolates to a lady. The original tagline was And all because the lady loves Milk Tray.A YouGov poll saw them ranked the 16th most famous confectionery in the UK.

The grandfather of engineer Kenneth Maynard Wood (co-founder of kitchen appliance company Kenwood Ltd)[1] Charles Riley Maynard and his brother Tom started manufacturing sweets in 1880. The sweet were made in their kitchen. Next door, Charles’s wife, Sarah Ann, ran a sweet shop selling their products to the Stamford Hill area of Hackney, London.
The Vale Road entrance of Maynards Harringay factory
In 1896 the brothers formed the Maynards sweet company. Ten years later, in 1906, the company set-up a new factory on Vale Road, Harringay. The new factory site, below an embankment of the New River, had clean Hertfordshire spring water to be used in production, whilst proximity of the Lee Navigation and numerous railways meant easy, cheap shipping of coal, sugar, and gelatin.
Around the turn of the century, Charles Gordon, heir to the confectionery firm, suggested to his father that the company should diversify into making “wine gums”. Nevertheless, Charles Riley, a strictly teetotal Methodist, gradually came round to the idea when his son persuaded him that the new sweets would not contain alcohol. Maynards Wine Gums were introduced in 1909.
Maynards Harringay factory
The works grew to become a four-figure[clarification needed] employer for the Harringay area. As Maynards grew, it expanded its manufacturing operations to other locations, such as a toffee factory in the Ouseburn area of Newcastle upon Tyne.
The 140 portfolio of sweet shops set-up as the company expanded were sold in 1985.[2] and the company was acquired by Cadbury in 1988. The brand merged in 1990 with the Tottenham liquorice mill Bassett’s, and Trebor as well as sweet manufacture of the three brands moved to Sheffield in 1991. By 2002 worldwide sales of Maynards Wine Gums were forty million pounds
