The Duchy Originals Brand

Duchy Originals is also the name given to a brand of premium organic food and drink products. The company Duchy Originals owns the Duchy Originals brand, but does not sell food or drink that carries the Duchy Originals brand name. Instead products with the Duchy Originals name are sold and manufactured by a number of different retail companies, all of whom pay royalties to the Duchy Originals Company. The total annual value of these retail sales is over £53 million.

The Duchy Selections & Duchy Collections Brands

There are two other brands, Duchy Selections and Duchy Collections. Duchy Selections is a range of premium free-range (but not organic) pork and fish products and mineral waters, and Duchy Collections is a range of high quality non food products.

The “turnover” of the Duchy Originals Ltd company, which is the royalty income notified to the company, and which is also the gross profit, came to £4.86 million in 2006/7. Administrative expenses came to £3.31 million giving an operating profit of £1.53 million. [ cite web|url=http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ |title=Duchy Originals Ltd Accounts 2006/7. ]
