The team at The Bury Black Pudding Company were recently moved by a touching message from Jessica and Mark Horseman, sharing the story of their 13-year-old son, Henry, who may very well be the company’s youngest and biggest fan. Henry’s passion for Black Pudding runs deep, so deep that he even spends time researching Bury Black Pudding online and considers Sunday incomplete without his favourite Black Pudding on his plate.

Learning of Henry’s unwavering enthusiasm, Bury Black Pudding decided to make his day unforgettable. In response to the heartfelt letter, the company sent him a collection of branded merchandise and a special ‘Golden Ticket’ in true Willy Wonka style. With this ticket, Henry and his family were invited to visit the Bury Black Pudding factory, where they could see firsthand the heritage and dedication that goes into producing each product. As part of this experience, Henry also visited the Bury Black Pudding Company’s stall on Bury Market, where he enjoyed serving customers from near and far, spreading his own infectious enthusiasm for Black Pudding.
“We had the most wonderful day at The Bury Black Pudding Company! It was so heartwarming how every single person we encountered was so lovely and attentive, Henry was made to feel so special. The Bury Black Pudding Company takes pride of place in Henry’s room, and he has been talking about his visit non-stop to everyone! It was a day he will remember and treasure forever,” said Jessica Horseman, Henry’s mother.
“Henry’s story is a reminder of the impact our products can have on people’s lives,” said Matthew McDermid, Brand & Marketing Manager at The Bury Black Pudding Company. Bury Black pudding is not just black pudding, there is usually a heart-warming and nostalgic story behind its heritage for everyone. “We are humbled and incredibly proud of the passion Henry has for our company. It meant so much to us to ensure his experience was one he will always remember.”
For Henry, this experience was the culmination of years of admiration. As his parents describe, Black Pudding has become a significant part of his life. Beyond his love for the product, Henry has shown remarkable courage, recently recovering from foot fusion surgery after a journey filled with hospital visits and treatments. His resilience and constant smile have made him an inspiration to everyone he meets.
The Bury Black Pudding Company is honoured to have Henry as part of its extended family and hopes that this experience will be one he treasures. His story has deeply touched the hearts of the entire team at The Bury Black Pudding Company, reminding them of the joy their work can bring.
