William Jackson & Son Limited (trading as the William Jackson Food Group) is a British food manufacturer.
The William Jackson Food Group (WJFG) was founded in Hull by William Jackson when he opened his first store in 1851.
The first bakery opened in 1891 and the current Jackson's bakery on Derringham Street opened in 1907.
In 1974 Butlin's leisure company asked the bakery to create a Yorkshire pudding for its holiday camps and so Aunt Bessie's brand was born, now producing 20 million Yorkshire puddings a week..
The company acquired Abel & Cole in 2012 and The Food Doctor in 2016.
The company comprises 5 subsidiary companies and The Ferguson Fawsitt Arms, Walkington including Aunt Bessie’s (frozen food), Jacksons Bakery (sandwich bread and Yorkshire’s Champion Bread), Myfresh (freshly prepared salad and veg), Abel&Cole (organic food delivery) and The Food Doctor (healthy snacks).
