THE TEAM

We each specialise in a different aspect but contact any of the team and they will find the best person to help you.
OUR ROLE
MANAGING FOOD SAFETY& QUALITY
We do this by testing, inspecting, auditing and making sure all of our staff have the correct training.
“It’s everyone’s job in the company to make sure that our food contains everything it should contain and nothing that it shouldn’t . . . for us it is our sole focus.”
FOOD INFORMATION
We provide food information to customers and to the bakery, including specifications and labelling; we ensure we are all singing [baking] from the same song [recipe] sheet.
“We’ll tell you what goes into our food so that you and your customers can make informed choices”
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
This includes inventing new products, improving existing products, trying and developing new baking processes, packaging, and using new ingredients. We have to balance recipes and processes as the weather and seasons affect our raw ingredients.
“Our job is to constantly change our products, because, in an ever changing world, our customers require new and exciting products.”
Controlling traditional with technology
We used to keep our tub of sourdough starter in the fridge. We invested in a computer-controlled sourdough system. Our integrated system stirs the dough, warms or chills as required, automatically doses on draught to the mixing bowl.
