His company, John Maddock and Sons, was founded about 1830. Though some believe John Jr. started the company, he was only 23 at the time. It is more likely that his father was the founder. The business was located on Newcastle Street, Burslem Stafford Shi...re/County, England. John Jr. married Martha Knowles, and among his children was James Maddock.
John had a partnership from 1839 to 1842 with a Mr. Seddon. At first they made granite ware to export to America, but through the years advanced to fine china. Being very health conscious, he was a member of Burslem's Board of Health from 1850 to 1868 and was chairman 1852-3 and 1854-5. In 1852, he offered to build public baths at his own expense if he could be guaranteed 50 pounds in subscriptions. John Maddock Jr retired from the business in the 1870s and died shortly after in 1877. His sons then carried on the business which closed in 1960's.
