Wright's Flour

Wright's Flour We have been milling quality flours since 1867. Our founder insisted that products, bearing his name, would only be made with the finest of ingredients.

At Wright’s Flour Mills we specialise in making the very best quality flours and mixes for your baking. All made by a family business with 150 years milling know how. With it's 17th century mill flanked by a Georgian mill house and Georgian offices, and close by, a 16th century great barn and numerous other listed buildings, Ponders End Mills is one of the most complete groupings of historical ind

ustrial buildings still being worked in Greater London. This rare survivor is set within meadows bisected by a tributary of the River Lea, and is something of an oasis in Ponders End's industrial landscape. However, appearances can be deceptive as behind the historic facade is a large, modern food-factory - with a number of state-of-the-art facilities - which operates to standards of quality and hygiene, which satisfy the most discerning of clients. When George Wright first came to Ponders End Mills some 150 years ago, he established a simple business principle - products which were to bear his name would be made with only the finest ingredients, using the most modern techniques. Four generations later, this principle is still being followed by his great, great grandson David Wright. In January 2021 after a development plan dating back four years and an investment to the tune of £47m. The new plant in Harlow was opened. David Wright revealed that the site has been designed “to enable us to add another mill or to add more storage, so there’s a space for every element to be duplicated”. Securing the future for Wright's & his staff.

Rob the Robot is now working double time at Delta Park. Installed a couple of years back on Line 1 he is now working on Line 2 as well. Well done Rob, a pay rise is imminent!

Some places carry their history in the walls. 🏰

Our Enfield site has been home to a working mill since 1087, long before the Wright family took it on in 1867. Flour has been milled there through every era of British life, from horse-drawn carts to high-tech conveyors.

Today, we still produce speciality flours there, while our new Harlow mill carries the story forward.

Every bag of Wright’s flour or mix connects past and present; proof that when you do things properly, history never stands still. 🌾

☀️ Milling powered by the sun!

We’ve just installed almost 2,000 solar panels across our sites as part of Wright’s ongoing investment in sustainability and energy efficiency.

At Harlow, the new panels will generate 1 gigawatt of electricity each year. To put that in perspective, that’s the equivalent of powering around 100 homes annually. It won’t cover all of Harlow’s needs (it’s a big site with high demand), but every kilowatt of renewable energy takes more carbon out of our footprint.

At our Delta Park site, the panels are expected to generate enough electricity to cover all of the site’s demand during the summer months, and around 50% of its usage across the year.

Flour milling is an energy-intensive process, so every step towards reducing consumption and improving efficiency matters. These investments help us continue producing high-quality flour while working towards increasingly ambitious environmental targets.

Thank you to for making it happen, who have been excellent throughout. It’s been a successful partnership and we’re pleased with how the project has progressed so far.

We gave attendees a tour of our mill to demonstrate our milling processes (and show them the best views of the town from the top!)

This is what 2,000 solar panels looks like from the roof of a flour mill.

David Wright filmed this quick update from the top of our warehouse at the Harlow mill, where we’re almost finished installing a major new solar system.

Once switched on, it will generate around 800,000 kWh of electricity each year; roughly the annual consumption of 300 average homes!

For a mill that’s already modern and energy-efficient, this is another step forward. The reality is that climate targets keep moving, and the bar keeps rising for manufacturers like us. Projects like this help us keep pushing in the right direction.

We’re nearly there now… Just a few panels and cables left before everything goes live.

We’ll share another update once the system is switched on.
