Gaymer Cider Company

In 1784, Robert Gaymer moved with his family from Starston to Banham, both in Norfolk, where he farmed and produced the first identifiable Gaymer cider. It was William Gaymer Jnr (1842–1936) who built up the family business to the point at which it employed 400 men, had a London office, a Royal Warrant and a lively export trade, and was a household name. By the late nineteenth century Gaymers had won seven awards at Royal Agricultural Shows. In 1896 Gaymers moved their business to the nearby town of Attleborough, where the factory had its own railway siding. In 1961, Shepton Mallet bought the company, and in 2010 sold the business to C&C Group, which in January 2016 moved production from Shepton Mallet to Clonmel, Ireland. Show Less
