Our Journey
From Yorkshire Sweet Shop to Birmingham Vegan Chocolate maker
1909
The Greenlees Sweet Shop
- Great-Great-Grand Aunt Alice standing outside her own sweet shop in Todmorden, Yorkshire. A confectioner by trade. We would like to think this is where our sweet tooth comes from
- Coincidently our other Great-Grand Aunt Alice’s inheritence, gifted the AGA we roast our beans in today
December 2020
Lockdown Experiments
- As lockdown boredom set in, we dreamed of creating our own vegan chocolate
- Searching online for all the kit and ingredients, to keep us entertained and our sweet tooth satisfied
- It soon became clear our chocolate fascination was destined for bigger things, and then we started experimenting with flavours and techniques
March 2021
Let’s get down to Business
- After months of expeimenting to find the perfect flavour combinations, we recieved funding to make our chocolate dreams come true
- Creating in the kitchen, just wasn’t going to do. So we set out our plan to build a workshop in the garden
June 2021
The Garden Workshop
- Construction begins on the garden workshop, starting with the base and building up with lots of help from family
- This eco garden workshop is fully insulated and temperature controlled for the highest quality chocolate
- Once the beans have been roasted, everything else happens right here – learn more about our bean to bar process
November 2021
- Marshall & Co Launches
- Over 100 years after our confectionary legacy begins, Marshall & Co, a 100% vegan craft bean to bar company is born
- Launching six different bars, each made with a different sustainable bean from across the word, and a zero waste chocolate husk tea
- Find your perfect vegan sweet treat
- What will your favourite be?
