John Henderson began in the retail grocery business back in 1897 selling butter, cheese, and eggs at premises on the Old Lodge Road in Belfast. Mr. Henderson was a well-known figure and frequently  judged cheese and butter categories at the annual Balmoral Show.

 

The Henderson Group remains in the retail grocery business more than 120 years on, but has expanded and diversified significantly. Four independent entities now make up the Henderson Group brand – Henderson Wholesale, which is complemented by subsidiary companies Henderson Technology and Henderson Print, Henderson Retail, Henderson Foodservice and Henderson Group Property.
