Family Business United are committed to compiling and maintaining a record of the oldest family owned cider producers across the UK and below you will find the current listing of the oldest, going back generations and representing thousands of years of familial ownership and leadership.

​

 In compiling the listings, we have used various means to make it as comprehensive and accurate as possible.  However, due to the fact that there is no legal requirement to disclose the status of the underlying ownership in business it is not an easy process.  We used our networks, connections at trade bodies and extensive desktop research to determine the oldest family businesses but are not able to say unequivocally that there are not a few other hidden gems out there.  From time to time another long-standing family firm is brought to our attention and after the necessary research and confirmations have been obtained, the business is added and the list updated.  

 

If you are aware of a family business that needs to be considered for inclusion then please do not hesitate to get in touch so that we can update the list accordingly.
