Our Story
Bringing the fun
since 1932.
Wigston was founded in Leicester in 1932. Four generations of the same family have spent nine decades learning what schools need, what retailers want, and what quality looks like at a price that works. That knowledge doesn’t come from a brief. It comes from staying.
