THE TEAM
Elaine Foster, Tom Hall, Orsolya Szekeres, Adam Westnedge and Mollie Stradling.
At our bakery we see technical as one team where we are all involved in every aspect. Each member of the team specialises in different aspects but you can contact any of us. We will direct you to the best person to assist if we can’t handle your enquiry personally.
OUR ROLE
MANAGING FOOD SAFETY& QUALITY
We achieve this by testing, inspecting, auditing, and ensuring all our staff receive the correct training.
“It’s everyone’s job in the company to make sure that our food contains everything it should and nothing it shouldn’t... for us, it is our sole focus.”
FOOD INFORMATION
We provide food information to customers and the bakery, including specifications and labelling. We ensure we are all singing [baking] from the same song [recipe] sheet.
“We’ll tell you what goes into our food so that you and your customers can make informed choices.”
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
This includes inventing new products, improving existing products, trying and developing new baking processes, packaging, and using new ingredients. We have to balance recipes and processes as the weather and seasons affect our raw ingredients.
“Our job is to constantly change our products, because, in an ever changing world, our customers require new and exciting products.”
Controlling traditional with technology
We used to keep our tub of sourdough starter in the fridge. We invested in a computer-controlled sourdough system. Our integrated system stirs the dough, warms or chills as required, automatically doses on draught to the mixing bowl.
