Manufacturer & Distributor of Specialised Bread For Sale

Business description

Established in 1998 this business is now celebrating its tenth year of successful operation in the manufacture and distribution of specialised bread and related products. Originally founded with retail outlets served by a single bakery, the business has since franchised the retail outlets and invested in substantial production facilities to concentrate on the more lucrative area of production and distribution. Since then they have acquired some major contracts, now supplying major supermarkets and major chains as well as wholesalers, distributors and contract caterers. From that moment on the company has established itself as a major and reputable supplier in this industry, offering both standard and organic products.
