![]() ![]() In 1865, Peek agreed with Carr that the business needed bigger premises. The consequential consumer demands of emigrating French expatriate soldiers, allowed the company to start exporting directly to Ontario, Canada from the mid-1870s. After hostilities ended, the French Government ordered a further 16,000 long tons (16,000 t)/11 million sweet "Pearl" biscuits in celebration of the end of the Siege of Paris, and further flour supplies for Paris in 18, with financing undertaken by their bankers the Rothschilds. Ltd started exporting biscuits to Australia, but outgrew their premises from 1870 after agreeing to fulfil an order from the French Army for 460 long tons (470 t) of biscuits for the ration packs supplied to soldiers fighting the Franco-Prussian War. With a quickly expanding business, in 1860, Peek engaged his friend John Carr, the apprenticed son of the Carlisle-based Scottish milling and biscuit-making family, Carr's. Ltd, based in a disused sugar refinery on Mill Street in Dockhead, South East The partners registered their business in 1857 as Peek, Frean & Co. One of his nieces, Hannah Peek, had recently married George Hender Frean, a miller and ship biscuit maker in Devon, so Peek wrote to Frean asking him to manage the new biscuit business. As a consequence, Peek needed someone to run the biscuit business. After founding the business, the two sons quickly decided on a different course (one died in his early 20s the other emigrated to North America). Peek wanted them in a complementary trade and proposed that they start a biscuit business. By 1857, two of his late-teenage sons had announced that they were not going to join the family tea import business. By the 1840s, the company was importing £5 million of tea per annum. In 1821, the three brothers founded a tea importation company, established as Peek Brothers and Co., in the East End of London.

Whoever advised or recommended this change in products did not understand or appreciate what Peek Freans cookies stood for in Canada. Really unfortunate that PF did not value its long time customers who truly enjoyed the original flavor variety in the past. PF may have secured a sale from me once but you won't get another chance in trying to sell me this crap again. PF should be ashamed of this sales gimmick. What is puzzling and actually offensive is that the PF multi-cookie blue box has remained the same without front of package stating the cookie variety has been changed. The PF shortcake shortbread cookies also taste different now - way too much salt. It is made from wheat with its husk in the batter. In its place they are now including the wanna be replica that is just awful. What is even worst is that Peek Freans no longer makes their famous sugar coated NICE tea biscuit. Truly tastes like biting into a bland super dry piece of wood. The digestive cookies are tasteless and the texture is just awful. Truly do not understand why Peek Freans changed their famous cookie recipe to what they are now trying to sell their customers.
