== History ==<br />
Fox's Biscuits was established in 1853 when Michael Spedding opened a small bakery in Batley. The company initially produced a variety of baked goods, but over time, it began to specialize in biscuits. In the early 20th century, the company expanded its operations and became a well-known name in the British biscuit industry.<br />
