Christmas is coming, and we’re ready to celebrate! We kicked off the season in early November with our buttery Mince Pies, filled with spiced currants and grated apple. This week, on the 27th November, we’re excited to launch our Mini Panettone, made with soft, sweet dough and packed with holiday cheer, and our Gingerbread Croissant, the perfect holiday breakfast treat! Flaky pastry filled with spiced gingerbread and orange frangipane, topped with crumbles, a dusting of icing sugar, and crushed pecans.

We couldn't be happier to welcome Tom Martin to the team, and to join us on our next chapter. Exciting times ahead! The Bread Factory GAIL's Bread Holdings Limited

We’re thrilled to welcome Tom Martin, creator of Britain’s Best Loaf 2024, as our new Head Baker in Manchester. His expertise comes at the perfect time as we prepare to expand into our new purpose-built facility. Big things are on the horizon!

Last week Indeed hosted a Strategy Day with our Talent Team.  The session provided valuable insights into the current job market, recruitment strategies, performance analysis and Indeed's tools and best practices.   We partnered with Indeed to elevate our recruitment efforts and this collaboration contributes to our mission to attract top talent who share our passion for quality and craftsmanship. With Indeed's robust hiring platform and expertise, we aim to streamline our recruitment process, enhance candidate experience, and connect with even more skilled individuals who are eager to join our team of dedicated bakers and professionals.   We look forward to welcoming more amazing talent to our bakery family and sharing our love for crafting the best baked goods with the world.

Proud to be working alongside Wildfarmed, bringing delicious, nutritious, responsibly made bread to chefs and restaurants across the UK. At The Bread Factory, we believe great bread starts with great farming, which is why our partnership with Wildfarmed champions regenerative practices that protect the soil and produce exceptional flavour. Together, we’re making a positive impact, one loaf at a time. Discover our range at Brakes UK: https://lnkd.in/eeB-Bcwv

We had an amazing time last week at the Brakes UK Foodie Expo!  It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our Wildfarmed range alongside our partners from Wildfarmed, who joined us at the event. At The Bread Factory, we’re not just baking bread; we’re baking with purpose and this event gave us the opportunity to connect with many industry professionals and share how our Wildfarmed range goes beyond better bread. It’s about improving a food system that nurtures the environment, promotes biodiversity, and cares for both the farmers and the people who eat our bread. A huge thank you to Brakes for organising such a great event and for giving us the chance to connect with so many industry friends.
