These EU restrictions have continued to have an impact of Tate & Lyle’s production output and workforce numbers, and the business has had to diversify its range of products to be able to compete profitably – a challenge that it has successfully managed so far – and with UK now leaving the EU, and restrictions lifted, it could herald a really positive new phase for the future of Tate & Lyle.Our philosophy is based around making a positive difference and doing business with integrity with all our partners, whilst striving to minimize any negative impacts. The factories in Silvertown became one of London’s biggest employers who, at its peak, employed over 5,000 people. The topic in question is the “Tate & Lyle” Sugar Refinery down by the River Thames in ‘Silvertown’– London E16 – and a fascinating little story it is too. The Henley Arms was built in the early 1960’s and is a typical post-war council estate pub. It was shut when I located it, so I didn’t have the chance to have a ‘cheeky’ one in there.

FAIRTRADE SUGAR HELPS DISABLED CHILDREN PLAY IN SAN ANDRES Both these businesses are the biggest employers in the London Borough Newham, and both have the most visible presence of anything else in the area – where ever you are in Silvertown, you will always see the factory and have a plane will be flying above your nut.From what I could see whilst ambling through its streets, there appear to be only 2 pubs in the actual Silvertown area – the ‘Henley Arms’ and the strangely named ‘Fox@Connaught’. In the early 1970’s the future of Tate & Lyle was very much put in doubt, and there was a threat of closure as a result of ‘quota-restrictions’ imposed by the EU (eg the Common Market as it was then). Pop the chocolate, butter and Lyle's Golden Syrup in a heatproof bowl and set it over a pan of simmering water for about 5 minutes – stirring from time to time until it's melted and smooth (don't let the bowl base touch the water). Since our initial commitment in 2008 Tate & Lyle Sugars has supported many farmers’ organisations to become Fairtrade certified. Today we source Fairtrade sugar from thousands small scale cane farmers in 14 different groups in 4 countries. We hope that you will continue to support Fairtrade by buying our products so that between us we can continue to enable our Fairtrade farmers to receive more Fairtrade Premiums and to help to improve more lives and environments in other countries around the world.

FAIRTRADE SUGAR HELPS SAVE CROPS FROM PESTS IN SAN NARCISO Those of you with a ‘sweet tooth’ may enjoy this particular London Shoes topic – a topic which is stirring and sometimes a bit lumpy. The businesses of both Henry Tate and Abram Lyle were extremely successful bringing both owners great wealth and more importantly providing much wanted employment to the Silvertown area of east London and beyond.Even though their respective factories were almost next door to each other, Henry Tate and Abram Lyle actually despised each other and never met in person throughout their lifetimes. This week’s London Shoes publication is about a particular factory that has been churning out its product for over 140 years, and is still very much doing so to this very day – and also has been, and still is, one of the biggest employers in the east London area.
