History
Walls was founded in 1786 by Richard Wall, when he opened a butchers stall in St
Jamess Market, London.
In the 1900s the business was led by Richards grandson Thomas Wall II. Every year
the company had to lay off staff in the summer as demand for its sausages, pies and
meat fell, so in 1913 Thomas Wall II conceived the idea of making ice cream in the
summer to avoid those lay-offs, the First World War meant that his idea was not
implemented until 1922. By that time the business had been jointly bought by Lever
Brothers and Margarine Unie.[3] Maxwell Holt was put in charge and he revived the
idea of producing ice cream, with near instant success. Ice cream production
commenced in 1922 at a factory in Acton, London. In 1959, Wall's doubled capacity
by opening a purpose built ice cream factory in Gloucester, England.
Ice Cream
Unilever continues to use the brand for ice cream in the UK.[4] Whilst remaining
(2006) the market leader in the UK for individual hand-held products such
asCornetto and Magnum, and value-added multi-portion products designed to
be eaten at home, such as Viennetta, the Wall's brand faces severe competition
from the major supermarket brands and to a lesser extent
from Nestl (absorbing the Rowntree's and Lyons Maid brands) and Mars spinoff ice cream products.[citation needed] (Most of the products of this company are not
suitable for muslims)
In 2013 Wall's expanded into the UK confectionery market following a
licensing deal with Kinnerton Confectionery, leading to the introduction of
ambient chocolate bar variations for the Magnum, Cornetto and Mini Milk ice
cream brands.[5]
