About W.J Shaw & Sons Ltd

Founded in 1877 Belfast based W.J. Shaw & Sons Ltd manufacture, pack and distribute a range of confectionery throughout Ireland.

W.J. Shaw’s are famous for our traditional confectionery products including Clove Rock, Cinnamon Lozenges and Brandy Balls.

Do you remember standing in your favourite sweet shop gazing at row upon row of jars containing sherbet lemons, bonbons, dolly mixtures, and rhubarb and custard? Well WJ Shaw have had the pleasure of making those very sweets since 1877 and while we may be over 100 years old we’ve never grown too old to grow out of our love of sweets.

Our traditional old-fashioned sweets are supplied in nostalgic sweet-shop style plastic jars and are also available as bagged lines.

In addition to our retro-style sweets we offer a large range of Children’s confectionery which is merchandised through the “SweetStreet” concept.

The company operates from modern premises in Belfast and offers a distribution service covering the island of Ireland and in 2018 we launched our online sweet shop in response to an increasing demand for our sweets from all around the world.
