The period between the wars was an era of uninterrupted growth for Morgan's as the Brand awareness continued to expand across the world.

From one man and a kitchen sink, Morgan's has grown into a structured, forward looking business now with a manufacturing facility in Whitstable, England, producing a whole range of fine quality hair and skin care products. The Company is still independently owned, with a member of the Martin family still retaining a controlling interest in the business ensuring that the Company founded by Robert Martin so many years before remains true to the same principles of quality, integrity and value that had made his Original Pomade so successful.
