Warburtons Limited is a British baking firm founded by Thomas Warburton in 1876 and based in Bolton, a town formerly in Lancashire, England, and now in Greater Manchester. For much of its history Warburtons only had bakeries in Lancashire and it remains a family-owned company.
As of 2018, Warburtons has 12 bakeries, 14 depots, and 4,500 employees around the UK. The company embarked on a large expansion programme in the late 1990s which continued in the 2000s and it has grown across the United Kingdom after being relatively unheard of outside the North West.
By 2010, it had a 24% share of the UK bread market compared with 2% when it was based solely in Bolton.
