Celebrating the past, shaping the future
This year Musgrave celebrates its 150th anniversary. The story begins with two young brothers, Thomas and Stuart, who started Musgrave Brothers from a small premises off Main Street in Cork in 1876. They built a business on simple, demanding values: honesty, hard work, long-term relationships, achievement and not being greedy.
The Musgrave business has an illustrious history, yet its aspirations have always been forward-looking. Immerse yourself in the history of this entrepreneurial, innovative and sustainable company which still lives by its values 150 years since it was founded.
From the very beginning, the Musgrave brothers demonstrated a commitment to sourcing the finest local produce, prioritising quality and value over simply chasing the cheapest imported goods. This ethos extended to nurturing local suppliers, helping them grow their businesses and, in turn, establishing secure and reliable supply lines that would benefit both parties for generations.
