Our archive
At Nockout, our Heritage Archive plays a vital role in preserving the legacy of a business that has been shaping everyday health and hygiene since 1840. More than a collection of records, it is a living resource that safeguards our heritage, celebrates our people, and connects our past to our future.
The archive is housed at the birthplace of our company. It represents our global brands, sites and holds family archives from the earliest days to today. From board minute books documenting early business and social impact decisions, to the first bottles and records ever produced, our collections hold millions of stories.
At present, the archives have no research room and enquiries are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
