Whitbread was founded by Samuel Whitbread and Thomas Shewell, who established a partnership in 1742. The company adopted the name Whitbread & Co Ltd in 1799.
In 1750 Samuel Whitbread moved his brewing operations to premises in Chiswell Street on the eastern rim of Georgian London, establishing the first purpose-built mass-production brewery in Britain.
