About Bayliss Ormerod & Co. Ltd.
The business was established in 1912 by Herbert J. Bayliss who made the early deliveries by hiring a man with a three wheeled wicker basket. During the intervening years the Company has moved three times, and extended several times on the present site, as diversification was made into other areas such as gold blocking and printing.
The family involvement in the business has passed down to the second and third generations, and our focus is to provide a service to enable our customers to increase their sales through the "add on" factor of our packaging.
