The origin of the Woods of Windsor luxury bath, body & homes brand comes from a small apothecary located in the shadow of Windsor as far back as 1770. This local apothecary served not only the townsfolk of Windsor, but also the Royal family and its distinguished visitors.

In 1984 the pharmacy was converted to the very stylish Woods of Windsor flagship shop selling the finest bath, body and homes products. By 1985 the Woods of Windsor business was exported to 40 countries worldwide and by 1989 they won another Queen's award for Export. After achieving great success throughout the 1990's, the Knowles' sold the business to a management buyout in 2000.
