HOME ABOUT US PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS MEDIA CAREERS CONTACT US THE DERWENT STORY To fully understand and appreciate our story, you need to understand the visionary entrepreneur behind our Group, Albert Gubay. Born in Wales in 1928, our Founder started his business empire as a penniless young man, selling non-sugar sweets during post-WWll confectionary rationing. This gradually evolved into market stalls until in the early 1960’s he opened his first grocery shop, Value Foods, which based its innovative business model on aggressive price cutting. This was the basis for his successful Kwik Save Discount chain, in which he sold his shares in 1973 for £14million. Our website uses cookies.
