Simpkins Travel Sweets Since 1921

What are Travel Sweets?

Travel Sweets are a staple carried during travel. Having something sweet to suck on can help ease travel sickness, and reduce pressure in the ears while flying. They also keep the digestive system active, and the sugar can provide a much needed energy boost!

The iconic Simpkins Travel Tins, designed to preserve freshness with their airtight construction, became synonymous with travel sweets, earning the company its rightful place as the original manufacturer of Travel Sweets.

Imported all the way from Sheffield, England, these confections have a rich history that began over one hundred years ago. Read on to learn more about the fascinating history of Simpkins Travel Sweets!

A Short & Sweet History Lesson

Rooted in a rich family legacy, Simpkins was founded in 1921 by Albert Leslie Simpkin, a World War I veteran. The idea to create hard candies from glucose didn’t come out of thin air. A.L. Simpkin wanted to make the liquid glucose given to recovering soldiers more palatable.

Simpkin chose to market his confections to pharmacies rather than grocery stores to help separate them from the competition. Due to their unique taste and texture, Simpkins sweets quickly gained popularity, and were soon found in 90% of British pharmacies.

Today, the third-generation owners of Simpkins continue to run the company with the same tradition of excellence on which it was founded. One hundred years later, they still use the original recipe, which calls for natural flavours and colours.

At the English Tea Store, we’re proud to offer these top-quality, imported travel sweets to you, celebrating the heritage and innovation of Simpkins Travel Sweets! Order a tin today to take with you on your next adventure!
