From modest beginnings in a two roomed bakehouse-cum-shop in a Manchester back street, we have developed in to a multi-million pound business, operating in a modern, purpose built bakery a stone's throw from the original shop. From here, we supply many of the country's major supermarket chains and leading independent outlets.
