Intro

💡 “Invest in companies you believe in.” – Warren Buffett

At MaxDividends, we don’t chase hype. We focus on businesses that pay out steady, growing income year after year. That’s how you protect capital, build cash flow, and let dividends do the compounding for you.

Right now, two very different UK-listed names deserve a closer look:

Cranswick plc (LSE: CWK)

One of the UK’s leading food producers (pork, poultry, sausages, and other value-added lines). Cranswick has delivered 35 straight years of dividend increases—without a single cut. The latest payout was bumped to 76p per share, and the stock offers a forward yield around 3%. Think of it as a steady, defensive income play in food.

Brooks Macdonald Group (LSE: BRK)

A wealth manager with a fee-based model built on recurring revenue and scalable operations. The company pays regular dividends (an interim of 30p this year, with a larger final payout expected), and its yield usually lands in the mid-single digits. That makes it a higher-income option compared to most FTSE 250 consumer names.

So the real question is this: Would you rather own the quiet, reliable food producer—or the higher-yielding financial player with more upside (and risk) tied to market flows?

Next, let’s break down the numbers.
