Cadby
Hall Toronto, Canada
It is not known when Cadby Hall,
Toronto opened but is thought to have been
between 1946-1953. It was the headquarters
of the subsidiary company J. Lyons &
Co. (Canada) Ltd. In 1953 the Director and
General Manager was J. P. Gledhill while
Al Martin was Director and Treasurer. In
the Toronto factory they packed tea,
mainly in tea bags, as well as roasting
and packing coffee. A speciality of the
factory was dehydrated chicken noodle
soup. All these products were sold in the
Dominion of Canada. Confectionery, Dundee
cakes, Christmas puddings and other items
were imported from the parent company in
the UK. Sales were undertaken by a team of
sales representatives who covered large
areas and territories by UK standards.
Some districts were covered by
distributing agents. The Toronto
headquarters
managed all the secretarial, accounting
and invoicing for the Canadian
operation.
