Shearer Candles Limited

In 1897 Shearer Candles was founded by a Mr. Shearer and a Mr. Harvey, who built a candle factory on the outskirts of Glasgow City. Shearer and Harvey had previously worked as chandlers in the Candleriggs district of Glasgow, the centre of candle making in the city. The last of the Shearers retired in the 1970s and the present owners, the Barnet Family, became involved in 1972 and are now in the second generation of management. Our chairman, Ian Barnet, began making candles in 1972.
Shearer Candles is recognised as a leading innovator in the fashionable and design-conscious world of candles. With hundreds of customers in a variety of sectors including leading retailers, hotels, restaurants, supermarket chains and department stores, as well as consumers, Shearer Candles prides itself on delivering bespoke high quality candles that contain only the purest and finest ingredients.
