About Us

Horsley Hick & Flower is a subsidiary of Kinnerton Confectionery that specialises in Business to Business activities operating out of a 60,000 sq ft modern factory just outside the historic city of York. The factory has been designed to meet highly testing technical requirements and is currently rated grade A by the British Retail Consortium.

Our roots go back to 1823 when Joseph Hick established a business in York determined to produce the finest confectionery. This heritage has been upheld by five generations of the family through their relationships with Terry’s of York, Craven and York Dragees until the business was acquired by Zetar plc in 2006.

In 2011 Derwent Lynton was acquired by the Kinnerton Confectionery Group.  Derwent Lynton is now fully integrated within Horsley Hick & Flower.  As a result of the integration our business has extended its manufacturing capabilities specialising in:

- Foiled Balls and Eggs
- Sugar Panned Eggs, Balls and Beans
- Jazzies and Snowies
- Candy Coated Buttons
- Chocolate Coated Dragees

Manufacturing Processes

We have four manufacturing processes:

Dragees Chocolate Coating

Using small scale traditional pans which maximise quality, we are a leader in panning and we have the capability of coating all free running pieces between 2mm and 14mm. Centres include nuts, fruit and confectionery.  We offer coatings of milk, white & plain chocolates and yogurt and a range of traditional finishes including marbling and dusting.

Dragees Sugar Coating

We offer a range of sugar panned specialities including sugar coated eggs and sugar coated chocolate balls.

Chocolate Moulded Balls & Eggs

We manufacture solid chocolate mini eggs and balls through a drop roller system.  These are either offered in a high gloss finish or are foiled in a variety of packaging styles.

Packaging

We offer a variety of packaging styles including film bags, Tetra Paks and mini cartons.  Every ingredient is hand selected before entering the production process and our products are manufactured by traditional dragee techniques in revolving copper pans. The small batch size necessitated by this technique, and the skill of our craftsmen, ensures the highest possible product quality.
