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.
