Blue Bird Toffee

Blue Bird Toffee

Blue Bird Toffee is a brand of toffee, founded in Worcestershire, England, in 1898 by Harry Vincent.

Vincent had similar ideas to Cadbury and the Frys with regards to the workplace being a pleasant environment to work.

Vincent's toffee was originally called "Harvino", but after watching Maeterlink's play 'The Blue Bird of Happiness' he renamed the product Blue Bird.

Bluebird Toffee left their West Midlands site in October 1998, and the company now trade in Hull as part of Needlers.
