"She" Products Company Limited was was founded by Mr and Mrs F T Peck in June 1936 in the present factory in Meeting Lane. Initially it served mainly Burton Latimer, Kettering, Corby, Rushden, Wellingborough and Northampton areas.

After the Second World War the business developed to serve shops, factories, schools and licensed premises. From 1970 a major part of the business became that of bottling soft drinks for other soft drinks firms and breweries where they themselves had ceased production, and making specialised products for the soft drinks trade.

Many children and adults would have seen these labels wrapped around the bottles
of their favourite drinks. Happy days!
