We are a growing manufacturing family bakery who started in 1988 baking in the back of a retail shop. We care about the products we provide and hope our staff feel the same. As a contract baker we bake many thousands of bread rolls daily, this is a very busy and hot working environment. Your earnings can increase over time with an apprenticeship. The apprentice will have the job title of craft baker, and this could be a route to many things within the food industry.
