Introducing Our New Look

Some say Cornwall’s finest treasures should never cross the River Tamar. Here at The Cornish Company, we’ve never been particularly good at following that rule.

Since starting out from a family kitchen table in 2020, we’ve been on a mission to bring real Cornish food into living rooms across the UK. Today marks a huge new chapter in our story. We’re thrilled to unveil our brand refresh: a modern, vibrant new look that reflects our growth, celebrates our roots, and sets the stage for our next step forward. From our signature freshly baked cream teas to our curated luxury Cornish hampers, everything we do is rooted in sharing authentic Cornish quality.

Welcome to the new era of The Cornish Company. We like to call it a delicious rebellion.

A New Look For A Delicious Rebellion

When we launched six years ago, our goal was simple. We wanted to make gifting real Cornish food easy, personal, and authentic. Over time, as our range grew from classic cream teas to full hamper selections, we noticed that traditional food gifting had become a bit repetitive. Much of the industry still relied on old-fashioned imagery, delicate fine china, and sleepy picture postcard tropes.

Cornwall today is so much more than quiet picturesque scenes from fifty years ago. It’s a vibrant, creative county overflowing with innovative food producers, local breweries, craft distilleries, and passionate artisans. We wanted our visual identity to match that energy.

Our updated look moves away from stiff, formal gifting conventions. Instead, we’re leaning into a warmer, more relatable, and contemporary expression of Cornish life. You’ll notice a refreshed colour palette inspired by our local landscapes, cleaner typography, and a few light-hearted touches, including our cheeky seagull, Steven, who’ll be keeping a close eye on your scones.

Despite the fresh look, our golden rule stays exactly as it’s always been: it’s jam on first. Always. No debate.

From A Kitchen Table To One Million Hampers

Looking back at where this journey started makes this moment even more special. What began as a local passion project quickly took off as people across the country fell in love with getting authentic Cornish treats delivered straight to their doorstep.

Here are a few key milestones that brought us to this point:

• 2020: Founded in the family kitchen by us brothers Tom and James Woodley.
• 2021: Moved into our very first dedicated warehouse in Indian Queens to handle growing demand.
• 2022: Dispatched our 100,000th hamper in July and won the Cornwall Business People’s Choice Award.
• 2024: Expanded into a much larger operational base in Bodmin to accommodate our growing product ranges.
• 2025: Delivered our milestone one millionth hamper to a customer in the UK in September.
• 2026: Grown to a dedicated team of 20 local staff, launching our brand refresh, preparing for national television coverage, and getting ready for a further facility expansion.

Tom Woodley, Managing Director and Co-founder, explains the motivation behind our fresh direction:

"When we started The Cornish Company, our priority was creating great gifting experiences using the very best Cornish produce. As the business has grown, we realised our brand no longer reflected the quality of our products or the ambition of where we're heading. This rebrand is about building a distinctive, long-term brand that celebrates Cornwall in a more confident, memorable and modern way. While the look has changed, our commitment to championing Cornish producers and delivering exceptional gifting experiences remains exactly the same."

What’s Changing (And What’s Staying The Same)

We know that when you find a treat you love, you don't want anyone messing with the recipe. We want to reassure all our loyal customers that while our packaging and website look sharper, what sits inside your box is completely untouched.

We still work exclusively with the finest local suppliers across the county. You’ll still find rich clotted cream from Rodda's, sweet fruit preserves from Boddington's Berries, crisp biscuits from Furniss, and refreshing brews from Smugglers Brew packed into our boxes.

Whether you’re sending a gift to a loved one or treating yourself, you can still enjoy our full collection of curated luxury Cornish hampers packed with award-winning goodies. If you’re looking for classic comfort, our range of signature Cornish cream teas still features freshly baked scones and proper clotted cream shipped nationwide.

Savoury fans don't need to worry either. Our golden, hand-crimped selection of freshly baked Cornish pasties continues to bring the authentic taste of the bakery straight to your oven. Everything we pack is lovingly sourced, carefully handled, and delivered fresh.

James Woodley, Co-founder and Operations Director, sums it up best:

"Delivering our one millionth hamper was a huge milestone, but it also prompted us to ask what should come next. From day one in our family kitchen, we wanted to make food gifting fun, authentic and proper, never stuffy or faceless. This rebrand gives us the platform to bring our love of real Cornish food to a much wider national audience, while remaining true to the local team, suppliers and community that have helped us reach this point."

Celebrating Contemporary Cornwall

At its heart, this rebrand is about showing the world what modern Cornwall is all about. We love our county's heritage, but we also love its thriving present. From coastal food festivals to independent craft bakeries, there's an incredible wealth of talent right here on our doorstep.

We see ourselves as guides and gatekeepers for the finest flavours in the region. If you want to explore the culture behind what we do, our blog is full of guides on celebrating traditional Cornish food and discovering popular pasty fillings that have stood the test of time.

By bringing together the finest produce under one roof, we’re making it easier than ever to explore the very best artisan Cornish food and drink no matter where in the UK you happen to live.

What’s Coming Next On The Horizon

Launching our new visual identity in August is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting year for us.

Starting September 18th, keep your eyes peeled for our very first national television campaign airing across ITV. It's a massive step for us, a business that started six years ago around a kitchen table; we can't wait to share our love for Cornish food with millions of viewers.

To support this next phase of growth, we’ll also be moving into an even larger facility. This expanded operational space will allow us to partner with even more local food artisans, craft new gift hamper selections, and dispatch orders even faster during peak seasonal moments.

We want to say a huge thank you to every customer, local supplier, and team member who has supported us over the last six years. We’re proud of where we came from, excited about where we’re going, and delighted to have you along for the ride.

Take a look around our updated site, explore our new look, and enjoy a real taste of Cornwall delivered straight to your door. Just remember, jam first, always!
