About Kingsmill
Kingsmill is one of the three largest sliced bread brands in the United Kingdom, launched in 1991 by ABF's Allied Bakeries. British bread is dominated by three brands competing almost entirely on softness and price. The category has been persistently unprofitable, and supermarket price wars on standard loaves are a recurring problem for all three.
