Gawith Hoggarth: brands it owns and its ownership tree
Gawith Hoggarth is a privately held company headquartered in Kendal, United Kingdom that owns 3 consumer brands.[1]
Gawith Hoggarth & Co is a family tobacco manufacturer in Kendal, Cumbria, which describes itself as the only remaining tobacco manufacturer in England. Its own account traces the family trade to 1792, the Gawith Hoggarth name to 1887 and the limited company to 1923, and it bought the separate Samuel Gawith business in 2015. It makes pipe tobacco, hand-rolling tobacco, twists and snuff, and also distributes other makers' products in the UK. Its site lists Pueblo (a Pöschl Tabak brand), Rattrays, McConnell and the J Cortes, Bossner and Neos cigars as brands it distributes; Pueblo is therefore not recorded here as owned by the company. Brookfield, Radfords and Golden Blends appear on its site as house brands but also on Pöschl Tabak's, so they are left out.
