Stephen Grocutt says: “Bakery is the new coffee shop. We are building one bakery at a time in character buildings in quality locations. Each bakery is designed differently which reflects our true independence and respects its location. Our purpose is to nourish people. We already have the highest net promoter score and employee net promoter scores in our industry additionally we empower all our bakery teams to support and nourish their own local charities and organisations.
