Shaped by you
Tastes and attitudes towards chocolate have evolved since John Cadbury opened his grocer’s shop on Bull Street, Birmingham 200 years ago.
A constant throughout Cadbury’s history is a desire to understand what you, our consumers, want and enjoy in chocolate, and how we can delight you time after time.
To illustrate how this remains true today, our Cadbury Unwrapped report identifies the trends shaping chocolate consumption today, and how these have influenced the Cadbury products you love.

Cadbury today, and tomorrow
Ever since John Cadbury opened his shop selling drinking chocolate in Birmingham in 1824, Cadbury has created delicious tasting products that delight you, our consumers, whilst supporting the people that work for us and the communities we serve.
These values shape us, and as we celebrate one milestone and look ahead to the next two hundred years, we’re committed to staying true to these words, and investing in our UK footprint.
In recent years, we’ve spent nearly £300 million to upgrade our Cadbury factories in the UK in order to modernise our production, being more efficient and innovative in what we do.
We’ve also invested in our science and research and development facilities, and now have more people developing new Cadbury products in the UK than anywhere else in the world.
From new takes on old classics, to new bars and bites, every single Cadbury product that we sell across the globe begins its life in the UK, ensuring that Bournville remains the home of Cadbury.
And, importantly to us, we have donated over £15 million to charities and communities through the Cadbury Foundation, supporting communities and people that need it most.
But most of all we remained committed to you, our consumers. You have enjoyed our products for two hundred years, and we will always ensure that you shape the way we do business and the products we develop.
