HistoryHolme Mills on Langford Road in Biggleswade, situated next to the River Ivel, was bought by local farmer William Herbert Jordan in 1855. The mill caught fire in 1894 and burnt down again in 1899. It produced flour until 1972, when W. Jordan (Cereals) Ltd was formed. It was run by Bill and David Jordan, who are brothers and were partners of the company until 2010.[1] W. Jordan (Cereals) Ltd has been dormant since 2010 and the business now operates as a subsidiary (The Jordans, Dorset & Ryvita Company) of Associated British Foods. There is a factory shop in Langford, Bedfordshire. Its main product it started with, and still produces, is called Crunchy Oats, which is based on granola. A mill was recorded on the site in 1086, as noted in the Domesday Book. In 1981, Waitrose began to stock their products. Also in 1981, Jordans began production of a breakfast/cereal bar called Original Crunchy. It now produces four different cereal bars including Frusli which contains 25% fruit, Breakfast Bars, Luxury Absolute Nut Bar and Original Crunchy Bars.[2] Luxury Bars were introduced in 2004. Country Crisp was introduced in 1991. In 2002, they formed the joint venture 'the Organic and Natural Food Company' with Yeo Valley Organic. It produced vending machines for schools filled with healthy food. In April 2003, it won[3] a Queen's Awards for Enterprise. In 2005, Bill Jordan was made a MBE. In September 2007, it sold 20% of its company to Associated British Foods, a further 42% in June 2008, becoming fully owned by ABF by 2013.[4] As of 2015, Jordans' packaging is made by Excelsior Technologies Ltd which is based in Deeside, North Wales. Conservation effortsJordans use oats which are grown by Conservation Grade farmers around Britain who are paid a premium to create nature-friendly habitats on 10% of their farmed land.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}} Bill Jordan owns the Nature Reserve at Pensthorpe in Norfolk which is taking part in high profile projects to bring back the rare Eurasian Crane and safeguard British natives such as the red squirrel. Similar to The Co-operative Group, the company is concerned about the rapid decline in the bee population. It started the Big Buzz campaign in May 2009, with the help of the British Beekeepers' Association and the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. Holme Mill itself became a museum in 2015, with the opening of a visitor centre on the site after production transferred to a new facility in Biggleswade's Saxon Gate development area. Market shareIt is the UK's fourth largest cereals manufacturer after Kelloggs, Nestlé and Weetabix. 25% of their produce is exported, with France being an important market; half their exports go there, and it is the country's best-selling muesli cereal. The brand leader of crunchy muesli in the UK is their Luxury Crunchy.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}} They belong to the Association of Cereal Food Manufacturers, which is a member of the European Breakfast Cereal Association.
