1861 Established by John Filshill.
1893 The confectionery and preserve works in Gallowgate were almost completely destroyed by fire, with damage estimated at between £10,000 and £12,000.[1] The firm rebuilt on the same site, but the business ceased the manufacture of preserves and thereafter concentrated on sugar confectionery.
1897 John Filshill died.[2] The following year, his trustees passed control of the firm to James Filshill and James Hamilton, to carry on the business as John Filshill.[3]
1909 John Filshill Limited was registered, with capital of £10,000, to carry on the business of wholesale and export confectioners[4]
1931 The company went into voluntary liquidation.[5]
