WHAT WE DO


G R Wright & Sons Ltd was founded over 150 years ago by my Great, Great Grandfather George Wright and has been a family business ever since. Six generations later the business is now run by me and my son James.

We are as passionate about the business as our ancestors and have invested heavily to ensure we have the most technically advanced operations producing the highest quality flours and mixes in the best food safety environment.

The company is based in Harlow where we opened a state-of-the-art flour milling site in 2021. We also operate a small specialist flour mill in Ponders End where the business started in 1867 and where milling has been going on since The Doomsday Book in 1087. The third site is at Delta Park, Enfield where we have a purpose-built blending and packing facility for the manufacture of specialist mixes which opened in 2014.

We recognise that technology is only as good as the people that operate it and continue to build a great team of skilled and knowledgeable staff, many who have very long service records with the company.

We supply a complete range of flours and baking mixes to suit every type of business from the largest industrial food manufacturers to the small artisan bakers. We deal with all the main retailers in the UK, and most of the main wholesalers distributing to catering companies, shops and fast food outlets. Our flours are sold in bulk tankers of 29 tonnes and in pack sizes from 25kg down to 500g.

We make a full range of high quality flours with superior baking qualities for a wide range of finished products such as bread, chapatti, naan, pizza, pitta, bagels, artisan sourdoughs, as well as self-raising and culinary flours. Some of our products are brand leaders in the flour market and many are used to make brand leading baked goods.
