Yorkshire’s first bean-to-bar chocolate company, Bullion, is a masterclass in the power of a business story. Founded by Max Scotford in 2016 as a side hustle inspired by a Saturday morning TV segment, Bullion officially launched in 2017. Within a year, the Sheffield-based brand had moved from Max’s kitchen to a full-scale factory, expanding to multiple sites with a café, bakery, and thriving team by mid-2025.
