Whittaker's

J.H. Whittaker & Sons, Ltd ('Whittaker's') [http://www.whittakers.co.nz/] is a confectionery manufacturer specialising in chocolate, based in Porirua, New Zealand. The company started in Christchurch by James Henry Whittaker in 1896, relocating later to Wellington.

History

James Henry Whittaker, after working in the British confectionery industry to the age of 14, moved to Christchurch, New Zealand in 1890 and starting selling confectionery six years later using horses and vans.

In 1913, he established a partnership with his two sons, Ronald and James, based in Wellington. The business became a limited liability company in 1937, with third-generation Whittakers still the sole shareholders in the company. In 1992 the company formed J.H. Whittaker Australia Ltd.

The company's marketing phrases include "Good honest chocolate" and "A passion for chocolate since 1896". Nationally, the company supports motor and equestrian sports.
