Ben and Doris Abbott had just arrived from England in 1949 and needed to make a living and Ben’s entrepreneurial instincts told him to import kitchen gadgets from the UK and show people how they worked. Abbott of England soon became a pillar in the Canadian giftware industry in the 1960’s, as a wholesaler of British products. And now the third generation of Abbotts has joined the business.
