The Jordan family has been in the milling business for over 150 years & we’ve been making wholegrain cereals since the 1970s. We have a long, rich heritage of using traditional methods in cereal craft, and we pride ourselves on being one of the first companies to have made delicious wholegrain breakfast cereals.  We use the entire grain so that the fibre and nutritious goodness goes straight into our cereals and into your bowl.

Jordans cereals are also grown under Conservation Grade™ standards which means they come from British farmers who manage 10% of their land for wildlife, so that birds, bees & butterflies can thrive & our British countryside is kept buzzing & beautiful.

Iceni is a new English natural mineral water. Filtered through deep chalk strata it is naturally purified, high in calcium and low in sodium with a clean, refreshing taste. Iceni Water, is named after the famous East Anglian tribe ruled by Boudicca in 60AD. This young water is drawn from a continuously replenished aquifier in the heart of our country – so it doesn’t need to travel too far to reach you!
