Spring Gully Foods has been officially associated with K & N Brass since December 2006. The partnership was announced by company Managing Director Kevin Webb, along with his brother Ross Webb (Director of Marketing), father and chairman Eric Webb and son Russell, who is also a member of the band.

The Webb Family’s association with the band however extends further back to 2001, when Russell Webb, became a member.

Realising the remarkable sounds produced from K & N Brass led to a desire for the Webb family to further represent the band in form of a sponsorship from the family business Spring Gully Foods.

Spring Gully Foods is now proudly the major sponsor of K & N Brass. Under the sponsorship arrangement the band has adopted our new name of K & N Spring Gully Brass.

In Spring 2007 Spring Gully Foods oversaw the design and manufacture of new uniforms for the band. The uniforms are designed to show the connection between Spring Gully Foods and it’s premium range of products. The new uniforms provide the band with a modern, new, exciting and innovative look that will see the band through the many years to come of competitions and performances.

Looking to the future, Spring Gully Foods is excited at the prospect of further developing the relationship with the band.

Spring Gully pickles was originally established in 1946 by Edward McKee at Spring Gully in the Adelaide suburb of Rostrevor.

Orphaned at the age of three, Edward spent much of his early life living in a tent in his Aunt’s backyard. Shortly after the 2nd World War, Edward brought an orange orchard at Spring Gully for 30 pounds. He added over 3,000 hens to provide manure for the orange trees and sold oranges and eggs to local corner stores. A Christmas present of his renowned home grown pickled onions to his customers proved so popular, that it demanded he produce more… Edward McKee was in the pickle business.

As the business expanded, Edward was joined by son in law Allan McMillan, stepson Eric Webb and close friend Malcolm Clyma. As supermarkets began to replace the corner store, Spring Gully’s only option was to expand. Anew factory was built on site at Spring Gully and eventually broader distribution was gained through the “Tom the Cheap” supermarket chain in Western Australia and South Australia. Coles and Woolworths followed and Spring Gully Pickles were on their way to outright market leadership in these two states.

Allan McMillan’s sons, Brian and Garry, along with Eric Webb’s sons, Ross and Kevin, joined the company in the 1980s. Their initial goals were to make the Spring Gully brand truly national, to modernise the plant as well as to introduce “best practice” and the sophisticated quality control systems demanded by today’s market.

In 1993 the company moved into their purpose built premises at Dry Creek in Cavan, South Australia. The facility has enabled Spring Gully to meet their stringent quality control standards, plus provide room for continual expansion.
