Wren's is the brand name of a shoe polish, first launched, produced and sold in England in 1889.[1] It is one of the few remaining shoe polish brands to exist through three centuries. The founder is an English gentleman by the name of William Edward Wren.[2]

History

In the very early years, the company's name was reflected as William Wren & Co but was most certainly changed to Wm. Wren & Co Ltd in 1918.[3] In a list compiled under the name "NORTHAMPTON BOOT & SHOE TRADE 1928" by Ms Elaine Allen, the company's name was listed as Wren, William & Co. Ltd. in three different addresses in Northamptonshire.[4]
