The History
Priestley's was founded in 1990 and initially operated out of Brisbane only. Gourmet Delights, operated independently, commenced distributing Priestley's products on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. An opportunity that was subsequently enacted arose late in 1995 for Gourmet Delights to acquire Priestley's. Priestley's Gourmet Delights Pty Ltd commenced trading in its present form in January 1996. Proud to be 100% Australian and family owned, the company has enjoyed consistent and sustainable growth. Staff numbers have grown considerably over time and we now employ more than 200 employees.

In November 2006 the company acquired a New Zealand based dessert manufacturer - Melba Foods. Remarkably similar to Priestley's in terms of its origins and product range, the acquisition provides Priestley's with manufacturing and selling capabilities across the Tasman.

More recently the company has embarked on a new era with the introduction of a gourmet savoury range. These products compliment the traditional sweet offerings and at the same time afford our customers the same high quality and value that they have become accustomed to.

The Future
Moving forward we will continue to invest in product and process innovation, offering new and exciting opportunities to keep pace with rapidly changing consumer habits. We will also continue to invest in our people as we believe they are the most important resource we have in our relentless pursuit of excellence.
