  • 1. Introduction
    1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to Unilever Sri Lanka Unilever's association with the country, Ceylon at the time, began in the early 1900s with brands such as Sunlight, Lux and Pears Rose being available for sale in the local market. In 1927 imports and distribution was organised with the appointment of a sole agent Sankar Aiyars. In 1938, with the sales of Sunlight reaching 2000 tons and Lux reaching 200 tons Lever Brothers Ceylon Limited was incorporated. This was followed with the establishment of a soap factory in Grandpass Colombo in April 1940. Bakery fats and Margarine manufacture commenced in 1941 and in 1958 the company established its own selling and distribution organisation (Sankalana, 2009). Over the years the organisation expanded and the business activities of Unilever were managed through Lever Brothers Ceylon Limited, Lipton, Brooke Bond, Ceytea, Lever Aqua Products and Premier Foods. The organisation was restructured in 1991 to bring all legal entities under the umbrella of Unilever Ceylon. Since then the business was managed by two divisions namely Consumer Division and Tea Division. Since 1996, the consolidated business entity is known as Unilever Sri Lanka Limited (USL) with its head office and main food and home and personal care (HPC) factory in Grandpass, Colombo. This plant manufactures a large range of fast moving consumer goods such as toilet soaps, hard soaps, washing powders, shampoos, toothpaste and margarine. This site employs around 1270 permanent employees. Non soap detergent (NSD) plant, hard soap packing plant and the distribution centre are located at the Lindel industrial site in Sapugaskanda, about 15 km away from the Grandpass office.

  • This Is the Pre-Proof, Accepted Version of an Article That Is Expected to Come out in the Journal of British Studies in October 2018
    This is the pre-proof, accepted version of an article that is expected to come out in the Journal of British Studies in October 2018. Please only quote from the published version. The eight images included in this article are not reproduced here for copyright reasons. (9,704 words) ‘The Penguins are Coming’: Brand Mascots and Utopian Mass Consumption in Interwar Britain In May 1935, an enigmatic advertisement appeared in The Publishers’ Circular, the leading professional journal for British booksellers (figure 1). Next to the headline, ‘THE PENGUINS ARE COMING’, a procession of six crudely drawn birds slid down across a blank white space. “If you want to know what all this is about,” readers were instructed, “turn over quickly to the next page.”1 This was, of course, the official teaser for Allen Lane’s new series of Penguin Books, whose inaugural ten titles, listed overleaf, would be published later in the summer to great commercial success. Produced in paperback and priced at only sixpence each, the books were sold through ‘variety’ multiple stores and newsagents as much as via conventional bookshops. The company soon boasted that three million copies had been sold within the first twelve months – the equivalent to one book every ten seconds, or enough to create a pile five times the height of Mount Everest.2 1 ‘The Penguins are Coming’ (advertisement), The Publishers’ Circular and The Publisher & Bookseller (25 May 1935): 707. 2 Penguin sales notice, 5 Oct. 1936. Scrapbook (1935-9), DM 1294/1/1, Penguin Archive, University of Bristol. 1 Sympathetic critics saw Penguin’s success as a genuine portent of progressive social change.
