Red Tractor-certified British baker Speciality Breads is targeting further growth after tripling its office space and launching a new innovation kitchen.
The new space includes a reception and seating area for guests, meeting room facilities and most importantly an innovation/presentation kitchen.
Adjoined to the company’s bakery on Channel Road, Westwood Ind. Estate, Margate, the official opening of the new facility took place on the 20th October.
MD Simon Cannell commented:
On the back of another incredibly positive 12 months, this investment is laying the foundations for further innovation and growth. It ensures that we can work even more closely with our customers to showcase our existing range and also create, develop and test the next generation of our unique products.”
Speciality Breads have also confirmed the addition of Alan Allman to its senior management team, in the position of Finance & Operations Director.
Simon Cannell continued:
Alan comes to us with a wealth of experience gained at Director level within the Finance sector and is also a qualified Business Adviser and HR specialist. Alan has been working with us in a private capacity, a couple of days a week, for the past few months and with our future plans and Alan’s obvious passion for the business, it was a natural progression for him to become a more permanent addition to the management team.
It’s the people behind our bread which has driven the success of our company, so we’re delighted to be able to further strengthen our team with Alan’s appointment. His experience, knowledge and enthusiasm will be a massive benefit to the company as we continue our journey to bring innovative artisan bakery products to the foodservice market.”
Speciality Breads
Established in 1996 in Margate, Speciality Breads provides an ever-growing, artisan selection of over 100 freshly frozen breads, which are hand-made by the company’s master bakers using Red Tractor-certified British flour.
Flying the flag for British bakers, Speciality Breads has continued its astronomical rise since starring at the Olympics in 2012 with double digit year-on-year growth and the launch of a new £3 million state of the art bakery in November 2015. Just this year in February, the bakers bucked the trend of negative news regarding BREXIT after securing its first BREAD-XIT export deal.
The company distributes its eclectic range of products including its world-first brioche/scone hybrid – the Scioche – to a UK-wide network of wholesalers, who in turn supply leading restaurants, pubs, cafés, caterers and hotels throughout the UK.
